What is a Mobility Allowance?

• You may receive a mobility allowance if you are an unemployed jobseeker and accept a job located far from your home or if you move to another locality for work.

• You may also receive a mobility allowance for training that begins before your employment starts, provided that your employment will last at least two months.

• The purpose of the allowance is to encourage employment also outside one’s own residential area. It helps cover the expenses arising from commuting or relocation.
