Is your membership of the unemployment fund still valid?

The unemployment security provided by the unemployment fund guarantees your livelihood if you become unemployed or furloughed and you are without income. Joining the unemployment fund is like getting an insurance policy for unemployment. It is therefore important to ensure that your membership of the fund is valid.
