Monthly update France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi)

Unless you declare that you are still looking for a job, the resumption of a professional activity will result in the termination of your registration on the list of jobseekers.

In this case, you will be reclassified to a category of jobseekers not immediately available for employment.

You are considered to be recovering in the following 2 cases:

• Resumption of business activity of more than 78 hours per month
• Creating or resuming a company with or without aid for the unemployed setting up or taking over a company

If you get a disability pension of 2^è or 3^è category, you are required to declare this amount to France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi). The competent person for establishing unfitness shall be the occupational or labor doctor.

The director of the France Travail agency must seek the opinion of the medical practitioner in order to verify the fitness for work of the person concerned.

• If the doctor finds that the person is unable to work, it is impossible to maintain the entry on the list of jobseekers.
• If the ability to work is recognized, it is possible to maintain your registration on the list of jobseekers.

If you are a foreigner jobseeker and your residence permit is no longer valid, you cease to be listed as a jobseeker.

You must therefore present the renewal of your title after each expiry. A reminder letter is sent to you 30 days before the expiry date of the residence permit.

Declaring one of the following events results in your temporary reclassification into a category of jobseekers not immediately available:

• Participation in a training activity, paid or not, of more than 40 hours
• Work stoppage for sickness or accident at work of more than 15 days
• Maternity leave
• Absence of habitual residence more than 35 days a year
• Incarceration of more than 15 days

These events may result in the temporary suspension of your unemployment benefits.
