I'm unemployed as of Sep. On my first "Abrechnung", the Arbeitslosenkasse have included the comment "Nach der Aussteurerung müssen sich Stellenlose zwecks Erfassung als Nichterwerbstätige bei der kantonalen Ausgleichskasse oder deren Gemeindezweigstelle am Wohnort melden."
Could someone please explain to me what it means cause I don't get it. Do I need to do some sort of registration at a tax office? I was on Quellensteuer while working.
This means if you have'nt found employment by the time your insurance has run out you have to registar at your commune. (gemeinde) Or by the kantonal office for social insurance.
Adults are generally classified for employment purposes as:
1. Erwerbstätig (employed)
2. Arbeitslos (unemployed and seeking employment)
3. Nichterwerbstätig (not employed and not seeking employment)
Generally, to be considered unemployed, a person must be registered with RAV. When the RAV insurance support runs out without the person finding a job, this is called "ausgesteuert" (literally, managed out). The managed-out person is to then register with the fund (Ausgleichskasse) as Nichterwerbstätig (not employed and not seeking employment).
Intentionally or otherwise, official Swiss unemployment statistics show a more favorable unemployment situation than the real situation.
