Transition security allowance
If you satisfy the eligibility criteria for the transition security package, you are entitled to a transition security allowance. You do not have to be unemployed to qualify for a transition security allowance. You can be paid a transition security allowance even if you find work with a new employer straight away.
The transition security allowance is equivalent to one month’s salary. Members of unemployment funds apply for the allowance through their unemployment fund, and others apply for it from Kela. The amount of the allowance is the same regardless of whether it is paid by an unemployment fund or Kela.
