Questioner

I am working full-time, but now I am receiving additional payment from the WW every month? I don't understand why but is this perhaps a trap for when I get back into unemployment that the period will become shorter and shorter, what I am entitled to. I am almost 61 years old.

Lawyer

As long as you do not report to the UWV that you are working full-time, you will receive a (partial) unemployment benefit that you must pay back afterwards. Your unemployment benefit period will then be restored. Please report the change to the UWV.

In the past, the WW was based on loss of hours. Nowadays, it is based on loss of income. The WW additional payment may be correct. I advise you to contact the UWV and make inquiries. If you cannot find a solution, you should contact a specialized social security lawyer. They are affiliated with the SSZ.
