AMS payments: This is how your unemployment benefit arrives on time!

Vienna, Österreich - The punctual payment of unemployment benefit and emergency aid is of great importance for many affected people. According to vienna.at the payment usually takes place on 8. of the following month. In certain cases, however, this can deviate by a day or two. It is particularly noted that the 8th can fall on a weekend or a holiday, which also affects the payment.

With an increase in the unemployment rate in May, the timely payment is all the more important. Those affected should therefore keep an eye on their account around the 8th of the month. The AMS pays the unemployment benefit benefits retrospectively, which is why the money is determined for May in June. If the payment is not necessary, it is advisable to contact the responsible AMS office directly.

Requirements and calculation of unemployment benefit

In order to be able to receive unemployment benefits, applicants must be reported unemployed and willing to start employment of at least 20 hours a week. Exceptions apply to people with care obligations who can work at least 16 hours a week. The duration of the unemployment benefit must also not have expired, such as Ams.at explained.

The amount of unemployment benefit is made up of a basic amount that is 55 % of the last daily net income, as well as family allowances and a supplementary amount. The basic amount is calculated based on the last twelve final monthly premium bases that are stored by the social security institution. The consideration of certain periods, such as during a disease, is important.

special payments and bonus regulations

In addition to unemployment benefit, there are various support measures. For example, recipients of unemployment benefit and emergency aid, which take part in the AMS training measures, receive a training surcharge. From 2025 it will be 2.60 euros a day. In the case of longer training, the amounts are multiplied, which is considerable support for long -term unemployed. Effective balance and special donations are also automatically paid out, such as Austria.gv.at reported.

Overall, it remains important to keep an eye on the deadlines and conditions. In the event of any difficulties with the payment, you should act quickly to avoid financial bottlenecks.
