Unemployment: personal training account (PTA) of a jobseeker
Verified 12 April 2021 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
If you have worked before, you have a personal training account (CPF). Your CPF is not powered during your period of unemployment. However, you can use acquired rights as an employee. To know your acquired rights, log in directly to your CPF account. Only certain training courses are eligible for the CPF.
If you've ever worked, you have a personal training account (PTA) but it will not be fed during the period of unemployment.
However, you can use vested rights when you were an employee.
If you've never worked, you don't have a CPF.
FYI
if you combine your unemployment benefit with income from part-time work, you can acquire rights to your CPF in proportion to your working time in the year.
