Recipients of unemployment benefits are allowed to earn additional amounts within the scope of marginal employment. The so called marginal employment limit gets adapted every year. A difference must be made whether the activity is an employed or self-employed form of work, as the marginal earnings threshold is assessed differently. With additional earnings by employed work, the remuneration received is relevant. With self-employed additional work, revenue and turnover are relevant. According to the AMS, self-employed work may be continuous or temporary.
 

Additional earnings from self-employed and from employed activities must not be aggregated, meaning that, if you receive unemployment benefits, unemployment assistance or educational leave allowance, you are allowed additional earnings both in a self-employed and in an employed form up to the monthly marginal earnings threshold, in other words the double marginal earnings threshold as a maximum.
