Warning or loss of unemployment benefit from the unemployment insurance fund
You may be given a warning if, for example, you do not actively look for a job or omit to report on your job search activities. If this happens repeatedly, you may lose your unemployment benefit for one or more days.
What happens if you do not do what you have to do?
If you have not submitted your activity report to us in time, if you have not attended a meeting or have in some other way not done what you have to do, we notify your unemployment benefit office. Tour unemployment benefit office then contacts you and you are given the opportunity to describe what has occurred and why.
If your unemployment benefit office does not accept your reasons for being inactive, a decision will be made as to whether or not you should be given a warning or your unemployment benefit suspended for one or more days.
If you neglect your job-seeking obligations
If you do not do what we have agreed on, you are neglecting your job-seeking obligations.
If you prolong your period of unemployment
If you decline a job, a work experience placement or other programme or measure, you are prolonging your period of unemployment.
If you cause your unemployment
If you resign from a job, you cause your unemployment yourself.
If you knowingly provide false information
The unemployment benefit office can decide to suspend your benefit for a long period. This applies if you knowingly or through gross carelessness provided false or misleading information to the unemployment benefit office and thereby receive more benefit than you are entitled to.
