Every 4 months, we must check how much you have worked in the previous 4 months during which you have received unemployment benefit. If you have worked more than 148 hours in total, you will continue to receive unemployment benefit without a waiting day. If you have not worked that much, you will have one day of waiting time. This means that there will be one day when you will not receive your unemployment benefit. The four-month period starts when you have been approved for unemployment benefit. The period can be extended if, for example, you have been on sickness benefit or maternal/paternal benefit.
