[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1 to 3, Eul evidence 2 and 3 (including branch numbers), and the purport of the whole pleadings.

5. Determination

A. Grounds for the instant disposition

Article 64(1) of the Employment Insurance Act provides that "the early re-employment allowance shall be paid in cases where an eligible recipient engages in a stable job or a profit-making business on his/her own, and where an eligible recipient runs a profit-making business under Article 64(1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 25022, Dec. 24, 2013; hereinafter "Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act") provides that "the case where an eligible recipient runs a profit-making business under Article 64(1) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 25022, Dec. 24, 2013; hereinafter "the Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act") has been re-employed for at least 30 days after the waiting period under Article 49 of the same Act, and the eligible recipient has been re-employed for at least six consecutive months."

As above, the purport of the Employment Insurance Act’s payment of early re-employment allowance is to minimize the period of job-seeking and encourage stable reemployment by providing the beneficiary with money equivalent to a certain percentage of the unpaid part of the amount of job-seeking benefits, regardless of whether he/she is engaged in his/her self-employment business or having been paid job-seeking benefits (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Du19892, Dec. 8, 201). Article 84(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act provides for the payment of early re-employment allowance by proposing more objective and specific methods and details for verifying the authenticity and stability of re-employment.

Meanwhile, examining whether the instant work manual applied as the basis of the instant disposition can be deemed as the legal basis for the instant disposition, the foregoing work manual is merely an administrative interpretation that the superior administrative agency established the work process guidelines or the standards for interpreting and applying statutes to subordinate administrative agencies, and does not have any legal effect since it is not delegated with the provision of the disposition requirements, etc. Therefore, the lawfulness of the instant disposition should not be determined based on the above work manual, but on the requirements of the relevant statutes (the Employment Insurance Act, the Enforcement Decree, the Enforcement Rule, and the instant provision) (Article 10(3) of the Regulations of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, which are the established rules of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, provides two times for the procedures for the recognition of unemployment as to the self-employment preparation for the self-employment preparation for the pertinent work (the subsequent work plan is submitted for the unemployment recognition, and the subsequent work for the unemployment recognition is reported as the self-employment preparation for the pertinent work, and thus, it does not have legal effect. However, Article 84(1)2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Employment Insurance Act only requires the Plaintiff's special work preparation for re-employment.

B. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

Based on the above legal principles, the following circumstances are considered to be met: ① the head of the Employment Insurance Act shall recognize the unemployment date from the date immediately following the unemployment recognition period to the date of unemployment recognition; ② the defendant, at the time of the 4th unemployment recognition ( February 7, 2013), filed an application for the payment of unemployment allowance to the 2th day after the 1st day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 20th day after the 3th day after the 20th day after the 2013th day after the 20th day after the 20th day
