Press release – Provisional deal to update social benefit rules for EU mobile workers

A provisional agreement has been reached to update EU social security rules for mobile workers. The aim is to ensure fair access to benefits, better cooperation between EU countries, and combat fraud. The agreement focuses on clarifying rules for unemployment, family, and long-term care benefits, while emphasizing the need for equitable burden distribution and enhanced measures to prevent abuse and social dumping.
