Unemployment insurance: 30% reduction of high benefits from the 7th month
The decree on the unemployment insurance scheme applies a reduction coefficient of 0.7 to the daily allowance from the 183rd day of benefit for recipients under 57 at the end of their contract. The coefficient does not apply where it would bring the allowance below a floor, and the reduced allowance cannot fall below €84.33 per day, so only the highest allowances are affected.
