You must insure yourself according to your primary line of work. If you work both as a full-time employee and as a full-time entrepreneur, you may choose whether to belong to the Entrepreneur Fund or an wage-earners’ unemployment fund. You can join the Entrepreneur Fund if the annual earned income of your pension insurance is at least €15,481 in 2026.
You cannot be a member of two different unemployment funds at the same time. On the membership application, authorize the new fund to send a resignation notice to your previous fund. If you transfer from an wage-earners’ unemployment fund to the Entrepreneur Fund within one month of starting your business activity, your unemployment security may continue without interruption.
