A summary of the changes in unemployment security
There will be changes affecting the recipients of earnings-related allowance in the unemployment security act as of 1.1.2018.
Payment notifications will be electronic
We no longer send paper payment notifications by mail. We have changed completely to electronic payment notifications.
The increased component based on an employment history has ceased
Due to an amendment in the Unemployment Security Act, the increased component will no longer be paid based on an employment history of 20 years. A person whose employment ended before 1.1.2017 could, however, receive the increased component until 30.6.2017.
Inform your union about your unemployment
If you are a member of a trade union, we recommend you to notify your own trade union of your unemployment. Then you can capitalize on the potential benefits addressed to the unemployed, such as a discount in your union membership fees.
Subscribe to payment notifications by SMS
Enable SMS payment notifications in eService and you will receive information on payments as soon as your application has been handled. The SMS message shows the amount and date of the payment.
Remember to pay your membership fee when your employment ends
Please remember to make sure that your unemployment fund membership remains valid uninterruptedly while you are unemployed or temporarily laid off. You can only be paid unemployment benefits if you have paid your membership fees. The membership fee of IAET-kassa cannot be deducted automatically from your earnings-related allowance,
