The unemployment fund Pro will merge with the Aaria Unemployment Fund on 1 January 2027
At their meetings on 25 May 2026 and 26 May 2026, the highest decision-making bodies of the unemployment funds approved the merger of the funds and the proposed amendments to the rules. The merger is still subject to approval by the Financial Supervisory Authority, i.e. a merger authorisation, as well as the registration of the unemployment fund.
Impact of the merger on members
The merger will not require any action from the members of the funds. There will be no changes to members’ accrued unemployment benefit entitlements or to the payment of earnings-related allowance because of the merger.
Benefits of the merger
The aim of the merger is to enhance the cost-efficiency and financial stability of the unemployment funds. The merged fund will be better equipped to meet future obligations and challenges facing unemployment funds, while continuing to develop its services and operations.
The key objectives of the Aaria Unemployment Fund in the 2020s are controlled growth and the development of services. The merger will support the achievement of these objectives.
Following the merger, the Aaria Unemployment Fund will have approximately 190,000 members.
