Article 65
Article 65 Unemployed persons who resided in a Member State other than the competent State 1. An unemployed person who, during his or her last activity as an employed or self-employed person resided in a Member State other than the competent Member State shall make himself or herself available to the former employer or to the employment services in the competent Member State. Such a person shall receive benefits in accordance with the legislation of the competent Member State as if he or she were residing in that Member State. These benefits shall be provided by the institution of the competent Member State. 2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a wholly unemployed person who, during the last activity as an employed or self-employed person, resided in a Member State other than the competent Member State, and who had not completed at least 12 months of unemployment insurance exclusively under the legislation of the competent Member State shall make himself or herself available to the employment service of the Member State of residence. Such a person shall receive benefits in accordance with the legislation of the Member State of residence as if he or she had completed all periods of insurance under the legislation of that Member State. Those benefits shall be provided by the institution of the Member State of residence. Alternatively, a wholly unemployed person referred to in this paragraph, who would be entitled to an unemployment benefit solely under the national legislation of the competent Member State if he or she resided there, may instead opt to make themselves available to the employment services in that Member State and to receive benefits in accordance with the legislation of that Member State as if he or she were residing there. 3. If a wholly unemployed person referred to in paragraphs 1 or 2 does not wish to become or remain available to the employment services of the competent Member State after having been registered there, and wishes to seek work in the Member State of residence or the Member State of last activity Article 64 shall apply mutatis mutandis, except Article 64(1)(a). The competent institution may extend the period referred to in the first sentence of Article 64(1)(c) up to the end of the period of entitlement to benefits. 4. A wholly unemployed person referred to in this Article may in addition to making themselves available to the employment services of the competent Member State also make themselves available to the employment services of the other Member State. 5. Paragraphs 2 to 4 of this Article shall not apply to a person who is partially or intermittently unemployed. State 1. A person who is partially or intermittently unemployed and who, during his/her last activity as an employed or self-employed person, resided in a Member State other than the competent Member State shall make himself or herself available to the employer or to the employment services in the competent Member State. Such a person shall receive benefits in accordance with the legislation of the competent Member State as if he or she were residing in that Member State. Those benefits shall be provided by the institution of the competent Member State. 2. A wholly unemployed person who, during the last activity as an employed or self-employed person, resided in a Member State other than the competent Member State, and who continues to reside in that Member State or returns to that Member State shall make himself or herself available to the employment services in the Member State of residence. Without prejudice to Article 64, a wholly unemployed person may, as a supplementary step, make himself or herself available to the employment Services of the Member State in which he or she pursued his or her last activity as an employed or self-employed person. An unemployed person, other than a frontier worker, who does not return to his or her Member State of residence, shall make himself or herself available to the employment services in the Member State to whose legislation he or she was last subject. 3. The unemployed person referred to in the first sentence of paragraph 2 shall register as a person seeking work with the competent employment services of the Member State in which he or she resides, shall be subject to the control procedure organised there and shall adhere to the conditions laid down under the legislation of that Member State. If he or she chooses also to register as a person seeking work in the Member State in which he or she pursued his or her last activity as an employed or self-employed person, he or she shall comply with the obligations applicable in that State. 4. The implementation of the second sentence of paragraph 2 and of the second sentence of paragraph 3, as well as the arrangements for exchanges of information, cooperation and mutual assistance between the institutions and services of the Member State of residence and the Member State in which he or she pursued his or her last occupation, shall be laid down in the Implementing Regulation. 5. The unemployed person referred to in the first and second sentences of paragraph 2 shall receive benefits in accordance with the legislation of the Member State of residence as if he or she had been subject to that legislation during his or her last activity as an employed or self-employed person. Those benefits shall be provided by the institution of the place of residence. 5a. However, a worker other than a frontier worker who has been provided benefits at the expense of the competent institution of the Member State to whose legislation he or she was last subject shall first receive, on his or her return to the Member State of residence, benefits in accordance with Article 64, receipt of the benefits in accordance with paragraph 5a being suspended for the period during which he or she receives benefits under the legislation to which he or she was last subject. 5b. The benefits provided by the institution of the place of residence under paragraph 5a and 5b shall continue to be at its own expense. The competent institution of the Member State to whose legislation he/she was last subject shall reimburse to the institution of the place of residence the full amount of the benefits provided by the latter institution during the first four months (reimbursement period). Reimbursement for that period shall be claimed only on condition that the person concerned has, during the 12 months preceding the reimbursement period, completed periods of at least three months in the Member State to whose legislation he or she was previously subject and where such periods would qualify for the purposes of establishing entitlement to unemployment benefits in that Member State. The amount of the reimbursement during that period shall not be higher than the amount payable, according to the following rules: (a) number of calendar days subject to the reimbursement period; multiplied by: (b) the average amount per calendar day of the unemployment benefits of the competent Member State of the previous calendar year. 5c. A second request for reimbursement by the same unemployed person shall be admissible no earlier than one year after expiry of the previous reimbursement period. 5d. From the end of the 18-month period referred to in Article 67(5) of the Implementing Regulation, interest may be charged by the creditor institution on outstanding claims. The interest shall be calculated in accordance with Article 68(2) of the Implementing Regulation with a supplement of 8 % above the base rate. 5e. During the reimbursement procedure requests or reactions to requests or notifications have to be answered within a period of six months. Should the deadline be exceeded, the reimbursement request is considered to be accepted. 5f. The arrangements for reimbursement are laid down in the Implementing Regulation. 5f. For the purposes of paragraphs 5b to 5e, two or more Member States, or their competent authorities, may provide for other methods of reimbursement or waive all reimbursement between the institutions falling under their jurisdiction.” Or. en (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=LEGISSUM:c10521)

If an insured person does not reside in the competent Member State, he shall request authorisation from the institution of the place of residence, which shall forward it to the competent institution without delay. In that event, the institution of the place of residence shall certify in a statement whether the conditions set out in the second sentence of Article 20(2) of the basic Regulation are met in the Member State of residence. The competent institution may refuse to grant the requested authorisation only if, in accordance with the assessment of the institution of the place of residence, the conditions set out in the second sentence of Article 20(2) of the basic Regulation are not met in the Member State of residence of the insured person, or if the same treatment or long-term care can be provided in the competent Member State itself, within a time-limit which is medically justifiable, taking into account the current state of healthneed of long-term care and the probable course of illnessneed of long- term care of the person concerned. The competent institution shall inform the institution of the place of residence of its decision. In the absence of a reply within the deadlines set by its national legislation, the authorisation shall be considered to have been granted by the competent institution. 3. If an insured person who does not reside in the competent Member State is in need of urgent vitally necessary treatment, and the authorisation cannot be refused in accordance with the second sentence of Article 20(2) of the basic Regulation, the authorisation shall be granted by the institution of the place of residence on behalf of the competent institution, which shall be immediately informed by the institution of the place of residence. The competent institution shall accept the findings and the treatment options of the doctors approved by the institution of the place of residence that issues the authorisation, concerning the need for urgent vitally necessary treatment. 4. At any time during the procedure granting the authorisation, the competent institution shall retain the right to have the insured person examined by a doctor of its own choice or, in the case of the need for long-term care, by a doctor or another expert of its own choice in the Member State of stay or residence. 5. The institution of the place of stay shall, without prejudice to any decision regarding authorisation, inform the competent institution if it appears medically appropriate to supplement the treatment covered by the existing authorisation.

If the insured person has actually borne all or part of the costs for the authorised medical treatment or long-term care him or herself and the costs which the competent institution is obliged to reimburse to the institution of the place of stay or to the insured person according to paragraph 6 (actual cost) are lower than the costs which it would have had to assume for the same treatment or long-term care in the competent Member State (notional cost), the competent institution shall reimburse, upon request, the cost of treatment or long-term care incurred by the insured person up to the amount by which the notional cost exceeds the actual cost. The reimbursed sum may not, however, exceed the costs actually incurred by the insured person and may take account of the amount which the insured person would have had to pay if the treatment or long-term care had been delivered in the competent Member State. C. Meeting the costs of travel and stay as part of scheduled treatment or long-term care 8. Where the national legislation of the competent institution provides for the reimbursement of the costs of travel and stay which are inseparable from the treatment or long-term care of the insured person, such costs for the person concerned and, if necessary, for a person who must accompany him/her, shall be assumed by this institution when an authorisation is granted in the case of treatment or long- term care in another Member State. D. Family members 9. Paragraphs 1 to 8 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the members of the family of the insured persons.
