hi,
Can anyone tell me, what to do to get unemployment benefit. Any reference websites or articles will be very helpful.

Regards

Go to AA, get the forms, fill them, submit the requested papers, you will receive an appointment day, on the day, go talk to them, and you should be receiving your money from the end of the month you will apply. Nothing more, nothing less. But check if you're eligible first and what your visa states.

hi,

Where can I find the eligibilty criteria? I have NE.

thanks for the reply.

regards

you have NE, that's the first point, now it depends how long you've been working here. If it is at least 6 months, then you're eligible.

@NoBody

If it is at least 6 months, then you're eligible.

hmm...isn't it 12 months?

Do I need to bring them a letter from my company that they fired me??

How does it work? What documents I need?

I worked for 5 years..

"Do I need to bring them a letter from my company that they fired me??"

Didnt you receive any formal notice(Kündigung) for the termination of your contract ? (or your expired contract which wasnt renewed is also like a formal notice of termination)

Just take them with you to Arbeitsamt, surely it wouldnt hurt to have couple of more papers with you which clarify your situation. You can present them, in case you are asked to do so.

"How does it work?"
You stand up from your couch, start to walk.. keep walking till you reach the Arbeitsamt building.. or you can take a taxi/train to reach the Arbeitsamt building(or drive your own car !).. but the choice you make for the transportation does not have any effect on your Arbeitslosengeld.. dont worry about it.. when you see the building then just enter in it.. Ehmm.. sorry I dont have time to write down all the details.. you will have to improvise the rest..

Regards,

@Ashlay

@mailsuji

Oh my goodness! r u joking? you already have NE and don't know how to register for unemployment money? It is even funny that some of them are really interested in giving you tips !LOL!

@Babloo
Why do u think that someone having NE must know how to register for unemployment benefits? I think majority of NE holders havent been unemployed at all, so how will one know details of registeration at Arbeitsamt in that case ? Infact having no NE could mean: good understanding about unemployment process at Arbeitsagentur and vice verca.

Just common sense!

It is that simple to ask at arbeitsamt. One should be aware of this basic thing especially when you are surrounded by so many green carders and colleagues.

Infact having no NE could mean: good understanding about unemployment process at Arbeitsagentur and vice verca.

I don't understand, why do you need so much understanding about registration.

Just common sense!
If such things were a matter of common sense then we didnt need Trust7. The problem most people face is the communication with Behörden thats why members here prefer to ask the Forum for any experiences with a particular matter. It doesnt mean that one lacks common sense.

I dont understand why you dont understand that i didnt said this! Please read my comments again!

What the heck you are talking about??? I did not generalise things here. I am talking about a person who lived and worked for 5 years in Germany knows nothing about ABgeld registration.

Now it's enough of your crazy lectures!

hi,

I will lose my job on 1st march. Can someone please tell me the stepsI need to follow?
1. Which office should I go to to claim for Unemployment benefit.
I guess there is :
Arbeitslose geld, then Arbeitslose Hilfe, and then Social Hilfe. Right??

so, I should ask for first support? How long such support last before I have to go to next level..

a prompt reply will be great..

thanks

"so, I should ask for first support? How long such support last before I have to go to next level.", you have to go to your Arbeitsamt and register yourself as future unemployed. If you know the date (March 1st) that means you have received a letter from your employer (Kündigung), then go with all that to the Arbeitsamt you belong to.
You will get forms to fill and some that will have to be filled from your employer, as to know why you are getting fire, if you are getting Abfindung or not, all these kinda questions.
After that, according to your salary, you will receive a letter telling you how much you gonna get and all that.

Do the first step, the rest will follow.

One thing that I did after requesting unemployment benefits was to make a request for Wohngeld at my local Wohnamt, that always help. But if you know you gonna get fired, better search for another job right now.

hi,

I must go to some office to claim for Arbeitslosengeld I.

But I am confused. Where should I go? To Arbeitsamt or to Arbeitsagentur?? or to somewhere else in hell?

I have to go tomorrow morning. It in dusseldorf. Can someone please tell me where??

Thanks'

But I am confused. Where should I go? To Arbeitsamt or to Arbeitsagentur?? or to somewhere else in hell?

Arbeitsagentur is the new name of Arbeitsamt. They are the same. The correct name is Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit.

I have to go tomorrow morning. It in dusseldorf. Can someone please tell me where??

Umm, Google?
