Giving a workshop in addition to unemployment benefits | Ask UWV

Questioner

I want to give workshops occasionally as a hobby, but I am on unemployment benefits. I will continue to apply for jobs because I can continue doing it alongside my job later. Will this cause me problems with my benefits? and how many hours are you allowed to do this in addition to your benefits?

It is important that you submit this issue to the UWV. If you are going to work in addition to the WW benefit and are therefore less available and/or earn money, it is wise to discuss this with the UWV. They can inform you about your rights and obligations in your specific situation.
