Summer and income security

Summer is the golden time for vacations. Vacations and the compensation paid for them have an impact on income security. We have compiled instructions and tips for different situations.

Midsummer payment dates

Once we have processed your application and paid your earnings-related daily allowance, the money will be in your account within two banking days. Midsummer Eve is not a banking day, so this will slightly change the schedule for some payments.

How should weekends be marked on the daily allowance application?

Many people may not consider themselves unemployed or laid off during the weekend, which may cause confusion when filling out the application.

Staggering of the earnings-related daily allowance

The level of the earnings-related daily allowance is staggered. This means that the level of the earnings-related daily allowance decreases if you are unemployed for a longer period of time.
