Effect of other benefits on the allowance

Unemployment allowance is reduced by the following benefits:

• child home care allowance (also the benefit received by your spouse can affect your allowance)
• flexible care allowance
• partial rehabilitation allowance
• partial disability pension
• part-time pension.

These benefits reduce the unemployment allowance by their full amount.

When calculation the daily deduction, the monthly amount of the benefit is divided by 21,5.

Benefits that prevent the payment of unemployment allowance completely, are

• sickness allowance and partial sickness allowance
• maternity, paternity and parental allowances
• rehabilitation allowance and rehabilitation subsidy
• family care allowance, if family care is considered to employ a person to such an extent that he or she cannot be available on the labour market
• special care allowances.

Benefits that have no effect on unemployment allowance, are

• child benefit
• orphan’s pension
• flexible partial old-age pension
• housing supplement
• family care allowance, if the carer can be available on the labour market despite the family care.
