Benefit amounts provided by assistance programmes tend to be both lower and, because they are means-tested on family income, more targeted to low-income families. In some countries, UA are, however, only available as follow-up support once insurance benefits expire (France and, up until 2005, Germany). This makes them quite different from UA in other countries, where they can also be payable to jobseekers who do not qualify for insurance benefits in the first place (e.g., Finland, United Kingdom).
