Unemployment assistance benefits (Panel B, unemployment assistance) are sometimes only available as follow-up support (Austria, France in 1985 and Germany prior to 2005). In other cases, they may also be payable to jobseekers who do not qualify for insurance benefits in the first place (Finland, France, United Kingdom). In Australia, they are the only form of unemployment benefit. Compared with unemployment insurance, changes since the mid-1980s to unemployment assistance rules were fewer and smaller.
