I’m a self-employed worker and have to temporarily close for economic reasons. Can I collect unemployment?

Yes. A self-employed worker’s cease of activity caused by economic, technical, production or organizational grounds leading to the economic infeasibility of the activity leads to a right to collect the benefit for cease of activity.

Yet this would be the case only if the self-employed worker subject to a legal cease of activity closes their business non-definitively and meets the other requirements regulated by the law including: the mandatory waiting period, activity commitment…).
