About this service
Description
You can study on a short-term basis so that you are paid unemployment benefit at the same time.
However, during your short-term studies, you are still obliged to apply for and accept a job and participate in employment services. Studies are not an acceptable reason for refusing a job. You will not receive increased unemployment benefit on the basis of your studies.
In the case of short-term studies, Employment authority does not investigate whether the studies are full-time or part-time. The assessment of whether they are full or part-time is only carried out, for example, when studies are needed to accumulate an employment obligation. The duration of studies should, however, always be established, so that they can be deemed to be short-term.
How to use it
If you are planning to start studying, please contact your Personal Coach in good time. All studies must be reported in advance before they are started.
Contact our customer service for advice or leave a request for us to contact you in the E-services of Job Market Finland.
If necessary, yoyr employment authority will examine your studies and give a statement to the unemployment insurance payer, Kela or the unemployment fund.
Conditions
You must meet certain conditions in order to be able to receive unemployment benefit when you are studying:
* You are over 25 years of age.
* The total duration of your studies will last a maximum of six months
* Your studies will give you professional skills or promote your entrepreneurial plan.
Your studies must benefit your employment. You cannot get unemployment benefit for, for example, studies that are clearly of a leisure nature of the full duration of your studies is more than six months, they are not short-term. In that case, you should find out whether you are entitled to independent or part-time studies supported by unemployment benefit.
If you wish to continue with studies that you previously suspended, at least one year must have passed since the suspension of the studies.
The right to short-term full-time study on unemployment benefit is a one-off entitlement. You will be entitled to it again once the working condition has been met and the maximum daily allowance period has been recalculated from the beginning.
It may be possible to study for short periods of time, as long as you contact your employment authority early enough.
