Unemployment security changes in September – see if the changes apply to you
The Unemployment Security Act has undergone many changes this year. In this article, we will explain what changed on 2 September 2024 and who will be affected by these changes.
Earnings-related daily allowance is staggered: The longer the unemployment lasts, the more the allowance decreases
Due to an amendment to the Unemployment Security Act carried out on 2 September 2024, earnings-related allowance will be staggered.
Temporary processing delays for daily allowance applications
The processing of daily allowance applications is currently experiencing delays due to the high volume of submissions, which may result in longer processing times for receiving your daily allowance.
Are you wondering when will you receive your first daily allowance?
The payment of daily allowance does not necessarily start immediately from the beginning of your unemployment, nor from the moment when your application for daily allowance has been processed. Read how vacation allowances and deductible period affect the start of daily allowance payment.
The following age-related exceptions to unemployment security continue to apply in the future
Due to changes in legislation in autumn 2024, a large part of age-related exceptions to unemployment security will be abolished. In this article, we explain age-related exceptions will still continue to apply.
