Huang Chun Charng (黃春長), section chief of the Council of Labor Affairs' employment service, however, said that many local governments evaluated the application based on the applicant's taxation report of a previous year and did not grant aid for those who have become unemployed after filing their taxation report.
The labor council also offers job training for the unemployed. Tung, however, said that those with families to support, could not live without incomes during the training. The council gives only NT$12,000 per month to those enrolled in its programs. An additional NT$3,000 per month is given to unemployed people who have families to support, regardless of the number of family members.
