Earnings-related allowance could be paid for the waiting
period starting from the first day of unemployment or temporary lay-off during this temporary legislative change. This
change was for the applications where the waiting period would have been set
from 01 January to 28 February 2022.
Starting from 1 March unemployment benefits are payable
after a waiting period of 5 days.
Other legislative change concerns about entrepreneur’s own
notification about business income. The temporary amendment did make it possible
to take part-time entrepreneurship income into account on a monthly basis
according to the entrepreneur’s own bookkeeping on income and expenses during 1
January to 28 February. Usually we take business income into account based on
applicants last confirmed taxation. From the beginning of March we use again
the latest confirmed tax decision.
