Due to an amendment to the Unemployment Security Act, earnings-related unemployment allowance is staggered from now on. The effects of the staggering system began to show in October and November, as the first individuals to whom this system applies had accumulated 40 allowance days.
If you earn at least 465 euros a month in wages or salaries, your earnings count towards the employment condition. This is important to keep in mind because the amount of your earnings-related daily allowance is determined by the wages and salaries from which your employment condition is accrued.
Employment and Economic Development Offices (TE Offices) will be discontinued at the beginning of 2025. In the future, services for the unemployed and job seekers will be provided by their own municipality or by an employment region formed by multiple municipalities.
If you receive benefits, you should make sure that the annual income ceiling on your tax card is high enough for the rest of the year. If you need to, you can order a revised tax card.
The Finnish Government has proposed to discontinue the payment of the increased component of the earnings-related unemployment allowance to persons participating in employment-promoting services from 1 January 2025 onwards.
The amount of the basic earnings-related unemployment allowance will not increase in 2025 and instead will remain the same as in 2024: €37.21 per day.
