Re: Unemployment benefits stop while in the hospital
I think it only amounts to the equivalent of one months Sick leave in the whole time that you are registered with the RAV.
Apparently, you need to also have your own insurance policy which kicks in after either one month or 3 months and pays out so much per day Tagesgeld (up to 2 years). This is optional.
This costs a few grand a year. Usually you can continue your previous employers insurance, but the premium increases in relation to how ill you have been and can stipulate exclusions. Mine wanted 9000 CHF a year for 265 CHF per day cover (Allianz)
This was my experience - it may depend on which company you worked for and health circumstances.
