  • Those who went on unpaid leave for 30 days or more can receive unemployment benefits, if they meet the conditions of entitlement to unemployment benefit
  • Those who have not accumulated the required qualifying period for receiving unemployment benefit and have low income or no income at all – should check their eligibility for income support.
  • Those who have reached retirement age and are not entitled to unemployment benefits – should check their eligibility for old-age pension and, if they have low income, also for income supplement to old-age pension.
