Can a job-seeker in another EU/EEA member state draw unemployment benefits even after arriving in this country?
The general principle is that an applicant for a job in another EU/EEA country can apply for drawing unemployment benefits with the competent authority in this country provided he/she has abided by the following steps: • First, the applicants must look for a job in their mother country (in the country currently paying the unemployment benefit to the jobless person) • The person must have been filed in the database for at least four weeks following his/her date of registration at the Employment Office (this period can be shortened in special cases only) • Before leaving for this country, the applicant must complete the form E303 at the Czech Employment Office • After his/her arrival in the host country the applicant must register with the local authority within seven days • If the applicant fails to find a job within 3 months, he/she must return immediately or their entitlement to benefits expires The benefit amount matches the amount the applicant would be drawing from the Czech Employ
