Unemployment - For those receiving other benefits from the National Insurance Institute

Restrictions on entitlement to unemployment benefit:
An unemployed person who is receiving one of the following payments will not be entitled to employment benefit at the same time:

         Injury allowance due to a work accident;

         Maternity allowance;

         Benefit for reserve duty service (the reserve duty benefit is at least the rate of the unemployment benefit the person would have received if he had not gone to reserve duty. The unemployed person must notify the Employment Service Bureau about the reserve duty service so that unemployment days will not be erroneously recorded for him during the reserve duty service).

         Vacation pay, which is paid under the Annual Leave Law or under a collective agreement or under an employment contract;

         Any other payment that is designed to compensate for loss of salary, as determined by the Minister of Social Affairs.

     An unemployed woman who is entitled to both unemployment benefit and an old-age pension at the same time will receive the higher of the two benefits (the calculation is made each month).

     Risk pregnancy benefit.
