1. Apply for adjusted daily allowance online or send an application to the Fund by mail.
- If you have worked during your application period, mark the hours worked on your application based on how you will be paid (for example, don’t include lunch breaks without pay in your working hours).
- Hours worked as an entrepreneur are not to be marked on the application.
2. Please attach:
- A copy of your employment contract if you are applying for adjusted daily allowance for the first time due to part-time or gig work you started.
- A copy of your pay slip if the information in the Incomes Register is not sufficient.
- We primarily use the information available in the Incomes Register when processing applications. However, the sufficiency of the information available varies, because employers can choose to submit payment details using either extensive or limited payment information. In addition, employers can submit voluntary information.
- The more extensive the information submitted to the Incomes Register is, the more likely it is that we will not need separate pay slips. If the information in the Incomes Register is not sufficient to process your application, we will send you a request to submit your pay slips during the processing of your application.
3. Apply for adjusted daily allowance retroactively in periods of either 4 calendar weeks (Monday to Sunday) or monthly depending on your established application period.
- The application period should be the same as the pay period for your part-time work so that applying for daily allowance and sending attachments would be as easy as possible for you and to avoid any delays in the payment of benefits. Please note that applications for adjusted daily allowance must also be submitted to the Fund within 3 months of the period you are applying for or the application will be considered late.
4. Inform the Fund of any changes (such as work, entrepreneurship, studies or sick leave) during your unemployment that could affect your right to benefits. Also inform the TE Office when necessary (if it concerns things such as work, entrepreneurship or studies).
5. Remember to keep your status as a job seeker active with the TE Office during part-time work and full-time work that lasts under 2 weeks so that you can continue applying for adjusted daily allowance.
