Duration of adjusted earnings-related daily allowance

The adjusted earnings-related daily allowance follows the maximum period of earnings-related daily allowance. The maximum period of earnings-related allowance is no more than 300, 400 or 500 days.

Each paid earnings-related daily allowance deducts one day from the maximum period. However, when we pay the earnings-related daily allowance adjusted, the maximum period wears off more slowly. This is because the adjusted earnings-related daily allowance is less than the full earnings-related daily allowance. Therefore, it consumes the maximum time more slowly.

The adjusted earnings-related daily allowance consumes the maximum amount of time in relation to the full daily allowance. For example, if your adjusted earnings-related daily allowance is half of the full earnings-related daily allowance, one day of your maximum period will not be used until we have paid two days of adjusted earnings-related daily allowance.

Example

Your full earnings-related daily allowance is 80.49 €/day. This is the amount of your earnings-related daily allowance when you are completely unemployed.

When we pay you 80.49 €, your maximum time will be one day.

You start working part-time. You get enough income from it so that the amount of your adjusted earnings-related daily allowance is 64.21 €/day.

The adjusted earnings-related daily allowance of 64.21 € is 79.77 % of the full earnings-related daily allowance. Each adjusted earnings-related daily allowance of this amount thus consumes only 79.77 days of your maximum payment period.

If your maximum period is 400 days, we can pay you an example of adjusted earnings-related daily allowance of 501 days before the maximum period of 400 days is reached.
