Information says that the OAED Christmas gift from DYPA is expected to be paid on Friday 20 December 2024so that the payment is concurrent with the pension payments of 4.1 million pensioners.
At the same time, it is expected to start on the same date advance payment for a Christmas present for unemployed regularly subsidizedfor beneficiaries of the special maternity protection benefit and for beneficiaries of the parental leave allowance.
It should be noted that for the payment of the Christmas Gift, the unemployed person must be receiving unemployment benefit or have been receiving unemployment benefit for some time from 1 May 2024 onwards.
Allowances and a Christmas Gift will be credited automatically, by direct deposit to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, even though there is no reason for the beneficiaries to attend the Employment Support Centers (KPA2) of DYPA.
It should be noted that the payments appear on the accounts within 3 working days after payment to OAED.
The amounts that the beneficiaries will receive
In cases where the unemployment subsidy from DYPA (formerly OAED) started after May 1, 2024, the gift is calculated taking into account the four crucial aspects:
- Each month of the subsidy for unemployed people at DYPA is equal to 3 daily unemployment benefits.
- The daily unemployment allowance is 20.39 euros (full-time) and 15.29 euros (part-time). This means that the amount corresponding to the OAED 2024 Christmas gift from DYPA for a subsidy month is 61.17 euros (full-time) and 45.87 euros (part-time).
- The DYPA Christmas Gift paid to the unemployed in the former OAED cannot exceed 25 daily allowances.
- It is recalled that unemployed people who receive a DYPA subsidy do not need to take any action before paying the gift,as the amount is automatically deposited in their ATM account.

Interview: Understanding the OAED Christmas Gift from DYPA
Editor of Time.news: Thank you for joining us today. We’re excited to discuss the upcoming OAED Christmas gift from DYPA, notably with the payment date set for December 20, 2024. Can you provide us with an overview of what this payment entails?
Expert: thank you for having me. The OAED Christmas gift is designed to provide financial support to various beneficiaries, particularly pensioners and unemployed individuals who are receiving or have received unemployment benefits from May 1, 2024, onwards. The timing of this payment is strategic; it coincides with the regular pension payments for approximately 4.1 million pensioners, ensuring that financial support is synchronized during the holiday season.
Editor: That’s very informative. Could you explain what groups of people will specifically benefit from this Christmas gift?
Expert: Certainly! The primary beneficiaries include unemployed individuals who are regularly subsidized through DYPA, recipients of the special maternity protection benefit, and those on parental leave. It’s crucial for these individuals to be actively receiving unemployment benefits or to have received them at any time after May 1, 2024, to qualify for the Christmas gift.
Editor: How will the payment process work for those eligible?
Expert: Great question! The good news is that the allowances, including the Christmas gift, will be credited automatically via direct deposit into the bank accounts of beneficiaries.This is convenient as it eliminates the need for recipients to visit the Employment Support Centers (KPA2) of DYPA. Generally, the payments will reflect in beneficiaries’ accounts within three working days following the official payment to OAED.
Editor: That sounds efficient. Can you break down how the Christmas gift is calculated for different beneficiaries?
Expert: Absolutely. For unemployed individuals whose subsidies started post-May 1, 2024, the calculation hinges on four main aspects. Firstly, each month of subsidy at DYPA equals three daily unemployment benefits. The daily unemployment rates are set at €20.39 for full-time and €15.29 for part-time work. Therefore, for a month of full-time subsidy, beneficiaries can expect about €61.17,while part-time beneficiaries could receive around €45.87. Importantly, the maximum gift cannot exceed 25 daily allowances.
Editor: This realy highlights the structured approach to support.What practical advice would you offer to individuals who might be eligible but are unsure about their status?
Expert: I encourage those who think they might qualify to check their employment benefit status and ensure they’re receiving the necessary unemployment benefits as described. They do not need to take any action for the Christmas gift itself, as payments will happen automatically. However, staying informed about their eligibility and understanding the calculation can help them prepare for their financial planning during the holiday season.
Editor: Insightful advice! what does the introduction of the OAED Christmas gift from DYPA signify for the broader community?
Expert: The Christmas gift from DYPA signifies an important safety net for vulnerable groups during an economically challenging time, especially as many families face financial pressures around the holidays. It reflects a commitment to ensuring that support systems remain robust, enabling individuals to navigate tough circumstances with some peace of mind during the festive season.
