  Hi,
  
  My work contract expires shortly, I need to claim WW unemployment benefit and I have a question...
  
  My work contract (2 years) states I am living at an address in Amsterdam where I was never able to register.
  
  I did however register at an address when I arrived and I managed to reregister at my current address in Amsterdam (different from the one on my employment contract) only this month.
  
  Will this affect my chances of claiming WW?
  
  Thanks,

  I think they need to have an address in the NL because if you leave the Netherlands, they can stop your unemployment payout. Let's say someone has the right to 24 months of WW, he leaves the NL for more than 3 months (I think), he loses his right to WW payout.

  but, maybe you already know.
  
  Good luck.
