Unemployed individuals

If you are receiving unemployment benefits (Arbeitslosengeld oder Bürgergeld) from the Federal Employment Agency, you automatically remain insured in the statutory health and nursing care insurance system during this time. You can continue to use almost all services like normal. The Federal Employment Agency pays your contributions for you. This is also the case if you receive no unemployment benefits during a hold-off period.

Not receiving any benefits from the Federal Employment Agency? Then you have two options:

• Take advantage of contribution-free family insurance or
• Stay insured voluntarily (and pay contributions)

Please let us know

Whether you have signed up with the Federal Employment Agency or not; you must be insured even during periods of unemployment. Please let us know what your status is, so you can continue to benefit from our comprehensive insurance cover.
