Assistance grant to evacuees under 67 (replacing unemployment)


Please note,

Until the month of September 2024, the grant is paid to those not working at all, owing to a legislation change in October 2024, insured people with income from another employer will also be eligible (after deduction of income from the employer), this eligibility will be granted retroactively from January 2024.
We are currently taking steps to develop a computer system to allow these insured to file grant claims in the month of June. We will keep you informed through the website on the matter.
