After the information was provided “incorrectly”, the AMS now clarifies which people actually receive the “lump sum” for the unemployed.
“In recent days, data on the so-called ‘one-time payment’ for the unemployed was incorrectly or misleadingly incomplete,” AMS Vienna reported on Friday.
This would have led many AMS Vienna customers today “to turn to the AMS Vienna Serviceline with a request to clarify their concerns.” “At present, communicating by phone is almost impossible, other important concerns of our customers could be ignored,” warns AMS Vienna chief Petra Draxl.
The facts
According to the AMS, the one-time payment is only available to people who have received unemployment benefits, emergency assistance, or bridge assistance for at least 60 days between May 1 and August 31, 2020.
Caution: Times in which sick pay, advancement allowance, partial retirement, partial pension, retraining allowance or only allowance to cover living expenses are received, as well as those phases in which no paid money due to a lockdown period.
It is also important to know that the single payment can be attached. “If there are executions, the AMS can retain the money in whole or in part,” he continues.
“AMS customers who are entitled to a one-time payment will automatically receive the money by the beginning of next week at the latest,” Draxl explains. “You don’t need to make a request.”
