Dear all,
Is it possible to ask for unemployment benefit in another European country (e.g. France) after the end of contract?
Thank you,
M.

Dear Brian,
Thank you very much for these details. Do you have any information on ongoing debates / discussions on the impact of Brexit on the transfer of benefits?
Best regards
PS: My apologies for this late reaction. I do not understand why I no longer receive notifications on my e-mail address. I had to come to the site and check if someone answered.
Dear Meriam,
There are details of the right to request a transfer of unemployment benefits here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/finding-job-abroad/transferring-unemployment-benefits/index_en.htm
The Uk government gives information here: https://www.gov.uk/claim-benefits-abroad/jobseekers-allowance
The UK is supposed to leave the EU in less than 5 months. That would definitely affect transfer of benefts.
Warm regards
Brian
