Subject: Re: Appointment confirmation - SEPE
Good morning, Marta:
Thank you for the confirmation. I am writing to confirm that I will attend the appointment on Tuesday the 4th at 10:30 at the office at C/ Alcalá 145.
In addition to the DNI/NIE, the IBAN and the company certificate, should I bring the dismissal letter or any other document if my contract ended due to completion of the project? By then I will have gathered the documentation, but I prefer to make sure so I don’t have to come back.
Finally, could you tell me whether this procedure is for the contributory benefit or whether the possible subsidy is also assessed in case I am not entitled to the benefit?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Laura Pérez
