If you have been self-employed, you may be eligible to benefit from us if you have entirely ceased working with your own company or if your company is dormant. In order to receive benefits you can not carry out any activities.

The daily allowance is based either on the income shown in the most recent tax assessment or on the average of the 2 years before the income year in the most recent tax assessment. The income you had before joining an unemployment insurance fund cannot be taken into account when we calculate your benefit. The unemployment benefit is not intended to support starting a new company. Nor should it be used to supplement the income of unprofitable companies.
