Unemployment benefit

andyjjennings

I quit my job in October. Was harming my health. I realise I wasn't eligible for bijstand then but after 9 months, is this still the case?

Money is becoming scarce

Hi again.

Unemployment money in the Netherlands is tied to how long you have worked and paid into the system.  Once you no longer qualify for unemployment money, then you go on to social security (bijstand).

The Rijksoverheid website has the information.  This link will take you to the Dutch Government website that explains the system.

Hope this helps.
