Our processing times are lengthy right now

Our processing times are currently long. We are sorry about the situation and we apologise. We hope that this has not caused you any undue problems.


According to our payment forecast, first applications will be processed in about three weeks. Follow-up applications with changes will be processed in about 2-3 weeks. Follow-up applications for the totally unemployed will be paid immediately.

The processing of applications is delayed due to the high volume of applications. In particular, there are many new lay-offs and these applications are often slow to process.

However, you can influence the speed at which your application is processed. 

You should send your application as soon as possible. A delay of even a few days in the application can delay the payment of daily allowances considerably, especially at the turn of the year, when there are many public holidays.
