Q: Can you imagine that my child is very ill and I give up my job to take care of him and now I cannot receive any benefit – sickness or unemployment, why is this?
A: According to our regulations, you cannot receive sickness benefit since you have not been rendered incapable of work as a result of some specific disease or bodily or mental disablement; and you cannot receive unemployment benefit because your unemployment is voluntary and you are not available for work. Please note that according to the regulations, a person shall not be treated as unemployed unless he/she satisfies the Director that he/she is unemployed, capable of and available for work.
