Who can claim for unemployment benefits?
You will get AUD (Allocations Uniques Dgressives) or ARE (Allocations au Retour l’Emploi) each month if you are eligible for the criteria defined by the employement agency, and for a duration that depend on your age and your contribution. Each unemployement benefits applicant must fulfill several conditions: • Having worked at least 6 months: being employed under a short term contract (CDD) or permanent contract (CDI) in a company linked to the UNEDIC for 6 months of the 22 months before your job ended. • Not having voluntarily left the position: redundancy, end of a short term contract, resignation allowed by the ASSEDIC, redundancy for economic reason. • Not being granted a full pension at retirement. • And of course… you are looking for a job: registration at the ASSEDIC, looking for a job effectively, accept the control organised by the ASSEDIC or ANPE, with the PAP for example… People that are at least 57 and a half, (or 55 , if they already have 160 quarters of contribution)
