Unemployment benefit?

I'm unemployed for the first time in 10 years. I'm over 50, which means I'm entitled to 15 months of unemployment benefits, as I've paid in continuously during that time. So far, so good… now that period has been interrupted, and I'm receiving unemployment benefits. Let's assume I find a job in 6 months and then, say, 5 months later, I'm laid off during my probationary period. What will that look like then? Am I even entitled to them?

If you’re already in the benefit, you’d have to pay contributions to unemployment insurance for a minimum of 12 months after new employment and within 30 months.

Then you would have fulfilled a new expectation period and new claim to min. 6 months acquired.

The claim would then be recalculated and if you were less than your unused claim, you would receive the higher claim and then for the entire claim.

So assumed 15 months minus 6 months spent claim = 9 months residual claim + new 6 months = again full 15 months.

If you would not fulfill a new expectation period, then you can only reclaim your unused claim since it was created within 4 years, in your case then assume these 9 months.

Correct

If you have not used up your previous claim and have not paid contributions to unemployment insurance within 30 months after new employment, you have not fulfilled a new expectation period.

Then you did not acquire a new claim, the unused claim will remain to you for 4 years from the origin, you can then use it again.

After the six months, you still have nine months of remaining claim and gain additional new entitlement due to the new activity.

The last statement is, of course, nonsense!

A new claim is normally obtained after a new period of entitlement and this is fulfilled if you have paid 12 months of contributions to unemployment insurance within 30 months.

yes, that still applies.
