I am a non-EU citizen and I have recently completed my 3- year PhD at KU (employed with a Salary). I have been paying my A-kasse membership for 12 months however when I became unemployed my application was rejected because my permit, which is a 6 months extension after the PhD, only allows me to work 20 hours/week. I would like to know if I can re-apply for the unemployment benefits once I change my residence permit to one that allows me to work full time (e.g.Establishment Card)
Thanks
Mike
