Unemployed, Other Recipient groups

A person who has worked in Latvia but wishes to claim the unemployment benefit in another Member State of the European Union must receive a document from the State Social Insurance Agency (U1), which indicates the periods of employment and social security in Latvia, which will be taken into account when granting unemployment benefits in another country. In order for a person who has been granted an unemployment benefit in Latvia and who is travelling in search of employment in another EU Member State to continue to receive the Latvian unemployment benefit, she must request the document “Maintaining the Rights of the U2” (U2). It shall be submitted to the institution of the country in which it is registered as unemployed.
