The 10,000 yuan temporary unemployment support scheme launched earlier caused confusion because of the "approval before review".
The government recently found that about 520 applicants who had been paid the allowance were ineligible, including about 350 employees of the Jockey Club betting shop, and asked them to return the subsidy. Many of the Jockey Club employees who had been out of work for more than a month reported to "Hong Kong 01" that the arrangement disturbed the people. .
AFL Legislative Council member Lin Zhensheng said today (12th) that the plan requires applicants to be unemployed for at least 30 consecutive days before submitting the form. The employees concerned are mainly part-timers. The Jockey Club did not arrange jobs during this period, but did not dismiss them, so there is a chance to not work. Eligible.
Unemployment support funds are first approved and then reviewed. 520 people have to return to the water recently. More than half of the employees of the Jockey Club betting shop

Lin Zhensheng pointed out in the radio program that the government also allows people who have been temporarily suspended from work for 30 days to apply for unemployment assistance, but it is only limited to employees of the listed premises, and the Jockey Club betting shop is not included.
He said that the batch of employees received 10,000 yuan in subsidies at the end of June, but the authorities requested a full refund after a review at the end of July.
He pointed out that since the Jockey Club did not arrange jobs for this batch of employees from January to April, the average employee would think that they were unemployed.
He said that many employees have spent 10,000 yuan in subsidy, and it is difficult to refund the subsidy amount immediately. He hopes that the authorities will handle it as appropriate. If they still have to refund the full amount in the end, he also hopes that the authorities will allow them to refund them in installments, so that they will not have immediate financial pressure. .
