eServices and forms for unemployment benefits

You will receive the form «Details of the insured person» directly by post. You will need this form to claim your monthly allowance from the unemployment insurance fund. If exceptionally you do not receive the form, please contact your regional employment centre (RAV) directly.

Insured persons must register as early as possible, and at the latest on the first day for which they claim unemployment benefits. This can be done online via work.swiss / Job Room, or in person at their responsible regional employment centre (RAV).  From then on, they must comply with the monitoring requirements (Art. 17  para. 2 of the Swiss Unemployment Insurance Act). The receipt of the forms by post does not release them from the obligation to register in person.
