Social Security Regulations EEA*Information for unemployed persons who intend to go to another Member State to seek employment Before leaving,

complete all the necessary formalities to ensure that where necessary you will receive sickness and maternity insurance benefits for yourself and for the members of your family, even while you are seeking employment.

Accordingly, you should go to the sickness fund with which you are or were last insured. On production of an E 303 form which you can obtain from the unemployment insurance institution, the sickness fund will give you an E 119 certificate. In the case of sickness or maternity, you should present this certificate to the sickness fund in the country where you are seeking employment.

On arrival,

in the place where you are seeking employment, you should go to the employment office; in the Netherlands and Liechtenstein you must also go to the unemployment insurance office; in Finland you must also go to the local office of the social Insurance Institution. These offices are the following:

in Belgium: the local offices of the 'Office national de l'emploi` 'Rijksdienst voor arbeidsvoorziening` (national employment office);

in Denmark: the local 'Arbejdsformidlingskontor` (labour exchange office);

in Germany: the 'Arbeitsamt` (employment office);

in Greece: the local employment office of the 'Organismos Apascholiseos Ergatikou Dynamikou`, or, where this does not exist, the local office of the IKA;

in Spain: the 'Dirección Provincial del INEM (Instituto Nacional de Empleo)` [Provincial Directorate of the INEM (National Employment Institution)];

in France: the 'Agence locale pour l'emploi` (ANPE) (local employment office);

in Ireland: the nearest local office of the Department of Social Welfare;

in Italy: the 'Sezione circoscrizionale per l'impiego` (local authority employment office) where you must also submit your claim for unemployment benefits;

in Luxembourg: the 'Administration de l'emploi` (employment office);

in the Netherlands: the 'Gewestelijk Arbeidsbureau` (regional employment office) and the local office of the 'Gemeenschappelijk Administratiekantoor` (Joint Administration Office);

in Portugal: for metropolitan Portugal: the 'Centro de Emprego` (Employment Centre) of the place of stay; for Madeira: the 'Direcção Regional de Emprego` (Regional Employment Directorate) in Funchal; for the Azores: the 'Centro de Emprego` (Employment Centre) of the place of stay;

in the United Kingdom: the local Unemployment Benefit Office of the Employment Service Agency or the Local Social Security Office of the Northern Ireland Social Security Agency as appropriate;

in Austria: the 'Arbeitsamt` (local employment office);

in Finland: the 'Tyoevoimatoimisto` (employment office) and the local office for Social Insurance Institution;

in Iceland: the 'Atvinnuleysistryggingasjodur` (the Unemployment Insurance Fund) in Reykjavik;

in Liechtenstein: the 'Amt fuer Volkswirtschaft` (Office of National Economy) in Vaduz;

in Norway: Arbeidsformidlingen or Arbeidskontoret (the local Employment Office);

in Sweden: Arbetsfoenmidlingen (the local Employment Office).

Hand to the relevant office all the copies of Form E 303 in your possession, with the exception of Form E 303/5, which you should retain. In the case of Denmark, the competent Danish institution always sends the forms direct to the institution of the country in which the person concerned is seeking employment. The job-seeker therefore receives only a copy.

Please note the final date, indicated on the E 303, by which you must attend if you still wish to receive unemployment benefits from the moment when you ceased to be registered as seeking employment in the country you are leaving.

While you are seeking employment you will be subject to the supervision of the employment services and unemployment insurance bodies just like all other unemployed persons in the area. You must inform the institution to which you gave an E 303 form of any change of circumstances that may affect your entitlement to unemployment benefits; the same applies if you become unfit for work.

Where this change in circumstances may entitle you to increased benefits (e.g. when you get married or in the case of the birth of a child), you may also directly inform the institution which issued you with an E 303 form, attaching the appropriate documents as proof.

If you return to the country in which you were last employed before the deadline indicated in heading 4 of the E 303 form, you continue to enjoy unemployment benefits in accordance with the legislation of that country. You should, however, inform the placement services and the unemployment insurance institution of that country of the periods during which you received unemployment benefits in the country to which you went to seek employment. Before you return to the country in which you were last employed, the unemployment insurance institution should issue you with the certificate on page 2 of this form stating the periods during which you received benefits in the country in which you sought employment. If you received only a part of these benefits, or none at all, you can appoint a trustworthy person to collect the money owed to you.

If, however, you return after the deadline set in Item 4 of the E 303 form, you may lose all entitlement to unemployment benefits.

If your failure to return in time is due to exceptional circumstances, the institution which issued you with an E 303 form may decide to pay you benefits on your return.
