From yesterday’s Guardian -

The British will vote on Wednesday in favour of an update to the EU’s social security regulation that would allow EU job seekers to export unemployment benefit for six months, compared with three months now.

Job seekers classified as “frontier workers” – because they live in one country and work in another – could claim benefits from the member state they worked in for up to 15 months, compared with a current limit of six months.’
