How many weeks of illness are added to the weekly requirement for unemployment benefits? I have been reported as better for 4 weeks, but before that I was reported sick for a year, I did partially resume my work during this period, but was not reported as better for this. Before I became ill I worked for this employer for years. I am now about to be fired.

Lawyer

The UWV has determined that you must have worked 26 weeks in the last 36 weeks. If you have worked and have not been reported better, these are weeks in which you have worked for the UWV. If you wish, I will elaborate further.
