SEPE offices in Melilla
If you live in Melilla and need to manage your unemployment benefits, you will deal with SEPE (Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal). Melilla province has two SEPE benefit offices. Both are located within Melilla city itself.
These offices handle all matters related to unemployment benefits, such as applying for new benefits, submitting documents, or managing existing payments. For any of these services, you must always book a cita previa, which means a prior appointment.
Unlike many other Spanish provinces where regional employment services handle job seeker registration, in Melilla, the SEPE Melilla office also manages your demanda de empleo (job seeker registration). This means you can handle both your benefits and your job seeker status in the same place.
To get your cita previa, you can use the SEPE electronic headquarters online or call the official phone number 91 926 79 70. Since there are only two offices in the entire province, plan ahead. Appointments can fill up quickly, so book yours as soon as you know you need to visit.
