PD U1 is issued in order to examine whether there is a right of the migrant unemployed within the EU to receive unemployment benefit in another EU Member State for the period worked (and) in the EU Member State issuing the PD U1, if contributions were paid during the above mentioned employment. The unemployment benefits coordinated between the EU Member States are paid in return. As regards insured persons insured with the former O.A.E.E. (Organisation for the Insurance of Liberal Professions) and independently employed persons insured with the former E.T.A.A. (Unified Fund for Independently Employed Persons), it is noted that in Greece, they are insured but do not pay contributions for regular unemployment and are therefore not entitled to receive regular unemployment benefits in Greece.
