In particular, the intent of the Cabinet, the unemployed will be able to pay for new costumes, which will help them to better look at the interviews. In addition, this amount goes to pay expenses for child care, transportation, purchase of new working tools, or extension of a driver's license.
In total, the government program, which will start from April, allocated 10 million pounds. Funds will be allocated points for the job. The decision on the appropriateness of allocating money to the various needs of the staff will take these points. In exceptional cases, the amount allocated to the unemployed can exceed 300 pounds.
