Yes I have attached the letter I got from the RAV it is for BS but the rules are the same (as far as I know) throughout Switzerland.

| i think the biggest difference outside of the increased contributions to the insurance scheme is that now to get 400 days you need to have worked 2 years to get 400 days of unemployment.. | |

Not 100% right, according to the letter you need 18months now instead of 12 of of the last 24 months to get the full 400 days.

Ok so for people who do not speak german here is some points of the changes.
NEW SYSTEM 1. People under 25 with no liability to maintenance e.g children. Their waiting days fall into 5 categories:
I) 0 Waiting days if salary is under CHF 36,000
II) 5 Waiting days if salary is CHF 36,001-60,000
III) 10 waiting days if salary is CHF 60,001-90,000
IV) 15 Waiting days if salary is CHF 90,001-125,000
V) 20 waiting days if salary is over CHF 125,001
2. People under 25 WITH liability to maintenance e.g children. Their waiting days are as follows;
I) 0 Waiting days if salary up to CHF 60,000
II) 5 Waiting days if salary is over CHF 60,001
3. Entitlement i.e how many days unemployment benefit a peron will receive
I) Having contributions of minimum 12 months out of the last 24 months people will receive a
MAXIMUM 260 days benefit (working days) approx 11months avrg 23 working days per month.
II) Having contributions of minimum 18 months out of the last 24 months people will receive a
MAXIMUM 400 days benefit approx 18 months benefit.
III) Having contributions of at least 24 months and are over 55 years of age and have a disability pension relating to 40% IV are entitled to 520 days.
(I am not 100% sure on this note, maybe someone can re-check the document
IV) People who are exempt from the contribution period for whatever reason now have a
MAXIMUM 90 days benefit instead of the previous 260 days
V) People who are exempt from the contribution period for whatever reason and are under 25 years of age and have no liability of payment e.g children now have a
MAXIMUM 200 days benefit OLD SYSTEM
minimum paying AHV for 12 months out of the last 24 months and you receive the 400 days.
People who are exempt from the contribution period for whatever reason had in the old system 260 days maximum benefits
So there you are guy's. I'm still waiting on clarification regarding if they can change the rules for people who are already receiving the benefits. Waiting for a response form a lawyer, should have some proper information by late next week.
The official document is below in german, it only relates to the benefit side of things and not to what the changes in the AHV rates are for employees and employers.
Hope this is helpful to people!
p.s if I have anything wrong feel free to correct me. But no bashing!
