Better recognition of worked periods in unemployment benefit rights

15/05/2026
In brief

Every period worked counts for more in a person's career path. Salaried work without unemployment benefits allows unemployment rights to be extended proportionally, while self-employed people in a main occupation can benefit more quickly from this extension, after three months of activity instead of six. People working at least part-time also keep their right to income guarantee benefits until the end of their employment. A concrete way to better recognise effort, secure the return to work and ensure that work pays more

  • Government: Federal government
