You become unemployed and live and work in Holland

You live and were gainfully employed in the Netherlands. Did you, in the 36 weeks before your unemployment, work for at least 26 weeks?

Then you are probably entitled to unemployment benefit.

The unemployment benefit consists of a basic benefit and a prolonged benefit. The basic benefit lasts for three months. Have you, in the past 5 years, worked at least 4 years in the Netherlands or an EU/EEA country? Then you are probably also entitled to a prolonged benefit. The duration of this benefit depends on the number of years you have worked.

Have you worked in a country which has a treaty with the Netherlands? In that case the time you were gainfully employed in that country is often taken into account for your unemployment benefit. This may differ per treaty country.
