• You should present the relevant E-form to the services in the host country in which you are seeking work, so that your benefits may be paid within a reasonable period of time.
  
  
• Please be aware that if you leave your job voluntarily, you may also lose, in certain countries, the right to unemployment benefit.
  
  
• Always ascertain your rights under the national law of the country of most recent employment before departure, namely because there is a waiting period for the transfer of benefits.
  
  
• In the host country you can receive the unemployment benefits that you receive in your country of origin. They are paid only while you are seeking employment in another EU country, under restricted conditions and during a limited period:
  
  
• You must have remained available to the employment services of the State providing your unemployment benefit for at least 4 weeks after becoming unemployed. However, this period can be shortened by the unemployment service concerned.
  
  
• Within 7 days following your arrival in the host country, you should register with the employment services of the country in which you are seeking work; follow the instructions on the E-form.
  
  
• You must observe the monitoring procedures implemented by the employment services in that country.
  
  
• You will then retain your unemployment benefit for a maximum period of three months. If you are unable to find a new job during this period, you will continue to receive unemployment benefit in the country in which you most recently worked only if you return there before the end of the three-month period.
  
  
• If you return after that date, without explicit authorisation by the employment services of that country, you may lose all entitlements to benefits.
