If a person receives unemployment benefit, they must generally remain in the country of entitlement. However, under certain conditions, they can also receive their benefits in another EU country.
Transfer of unemployment benefits in the European Union
A person who receives unemployment benefits in a country must, as a general principle, remain in that country to be available for any new employment. In certain circumstances, unemployment benefits may be transferred for a limited period of three months (possibly six months if certain criteria are met) to another EU country if it can be proven that the likelihood of finding employment is more realistic there.
