Specific factors concerning adjusted daily allowance

The adjusted daily allowance and the adjustment period’s pay combined can only be as much as the pay used as the basis for the daily allowance. If your income exceeds the pay used for the calculation of the daily allowance, the unemployment fund will pay the daily allowance so that the income for the period totals the pay used as the basis for the daily allowance. The earned income is compared to the pay used as the basis for the daily allowance, without subtracting the standard entitlement.

In order for daily allowance to be paid, the amount to be paid must be a minimum of 50% of the basic unemployment allowance, that is, at least €18.61/month (€37.21 * 50%) in 2024.
