If you become temporarily incapacitated for work while receiving unemployment benefits as a result of suspension of employment or a reduction in working hours under a temporary employment regulation procedure, you must inform the State Public Employment Service (SEPE). You are required to report both the start of sick leave and, when applicable, your medical discharge. In addition, your company will also report the sick leave days through the corresponding activity/inactivity days file.

You can report this situation:

• By requesting an appointment at your benefits office and submitting the sick leave and discharge certificates.
• Online, via the SEPE official portal (if you have a digital certificate, electronic ID or cl@ve credentials). The documents can be uploaded through the Document Management service.
• By submitting a pre‑application to report the sick leave under the Suspension of benefit procedure. Once you receive medical discharge, submit a new pre‑application under the Individual benefit pre‑application procedure. In both cases, briefly explain in the Comments field that you are receiving benefits due to an ERTE and that you have entered or completed a period of temporary incapacity.
• Exceptionally, by submitting a written request through the Electronic Registry or at a registration assistance office, attaching the sick leave and discharge certificates.
