When you lose your job
A jobseeker is a person who is registered as a jobseeker with the National Employment Service in Hungary. A jobseeker cannot be a student in full-time education or a person entitled to an old-age pension, rehabilitation benefit, benefits prior to retirement age or benefits for persons with changed working capacity, and may not receive income from other activities, except for occasional work. A jobseeker has to co-operate with the national employment service.
A jobseeker's allowance may be granted to a person:
• with an eligibility period of at least 360 days within three years preceding the date of becoming a jobseeker,
• who is looking for work, and
• who is not engaged in any gainful activities, i.e. is neither employed nor
• self-employed, and
• would like to find work, but whose individual efforts to find work have been so far unsuccessful, and
• to whom the relevant employment office fails to offer an appropriate job.
