Even with a voluntary resignation, I did not have to wait for one month.

My resignation was voluntary.

So naturally, I thought there would be a
7-day waiting period plus a 1-month benefit restriction.

However, it was actually different.

After the 7-day waiting period ended,
there was no benefit restriction applied.

There is one reason for this.

It is because I did not leave the circumstances of my resignation as they were.

I was undergoing treatment that involved surgery.
I was also hospitalized.

In terms of company procedures, it was a "voluntary resignation."
That part did not change.

However, when I was asked about the reason for my resignation at Hello Work,
I told them honestly about my illness.

Then,

"If you have a doctor's certificate, there is a possibility that the benefit restriction will not be applied."

I was told.

I received the form specified by Hello Work and went to the hospital.

I explained the situation,
and had the circumstances leading to my resignation certified.

The document fee was 2,200 yen.

After submission, there was no benefit restriction.

Even with a voluntary resignation,

・Illness
・Nursing care
・Unavoidable circumstances

If you have these,
you may be treated as a "person who left for specific reasons."

If I hadn't known,
I think I would have just waited for that one month.

Not every case will be the same.

However,

You don't always have to assume that 'it can't be helped because it was a voluntary resignation'.

I am glad I asked at that time.
