The good news first: The payment for the previous month usually arrives on time. As a rule of thumb, your unemployment benefits or emergency assistance should be in your account by the 8th of the following month at the latest.

But beware: The exact day can sometimes shift by a day or two. This is often due to how quickly your bank processes the transfer. If the 8th falls on a weekend or a holiday, the payment may occur either shortly before or directly after. So, there are no fixed deadlines for each month, but the focal point is usually around the 8th.

Perhaps you have also seen the recent news showing that in May, the number of unemployed people increased compared to the previous year. This also means: More people are currently waiting for this support from the AMS. This development highlights how important the timely payment of money is for many households.

Why is the money actually for the previous month? The AMS always pays the benefits retroactively. The money you receive now in June is therefore for the month of May. This is the usual procedure and ensures clarity in the settlement of your claims.

It is always a good idea to keep an eye on your account, especially around the 8th of the month. If you still haven't received a payment after that and there is no obvious explanation (like a weekend), then it's best to contact your responsible AMS office directly.
