Simpler and clearer access to unemployment benefits

15/05/2026
In brief

Access to unemployment benefits is becoming simpler to understand: you must have worked for at least one year over the previous three years to be eligible. For young people, the professional integration traineeship is reduced to six months and can start immediately after finishing studies, while keeping two mandatory positive assessments. Clearer rules, better-defined timeframes and a more readable path towards employment.

  • Government: Federal government
