Notifying the UWV that you are going on holiday while receiving unemployment benefit (WW)
If you are receiving unemployment benefit (WW), you are entitled to receive 20 days of holiday leave. During this period, you will continue to receive your benefit and you do not need to look for work. However, you do need to notify the UWV before you go on holiday.
