SEPE offices in Castellón
If you need to manage your unemployment benefits in Castellón province, you will visit a SEPE office. SEPE is the Spanish Public Employment Service. Castellón province has 8 SEPE benefits offices. These offices handle all matters related to unemployment benefits, called prestaciones in Spanish.
You will find three SEPE offices in Castellón de la Plana. Other towns like La Vall D´uixó, Onda, Segorbe, Vila, and Vinaròs each have one office. Remember, you always need an appointment, known as cita previa, to visit any SEPE office. This is a free service.
It is important to understand the difference between SEPE and the regional employment service. In the Comunitat Valenciana, this service is called LABORA. SEPE manages your unemployment benefits. LABORA handles your job seeker registration, or demanda de empleo. You must keep your demanda de empleo active with LABORA to receive SEPE benefits. You cannot renew your demanda de empleo at a SEPE office.
Getting your cita previa can sometimes be tricky. Always try to book your appointment online first, on the SEPE electronic site. If you cannot find an appointment online, especially in smaller towns, you can call 91 926 79 70. Be persistent, as phone lines can be busy. Plan ahead, as appointments can fill up quickly.
In Comunitat Valenciana, registering as a jobseeker (demanda de empleo) happens at LABORA. The SEPE offices on this page handle unemployment benefits and subsidies.
