My contract ends end of January and hasn't been renewed. It will be a year since I have been here.
I am wondering if I am entitled to financial support in case of unemployment or not in this case.
I have a G permit as I live in France but work in Geneva. It says on the permit it is valid for 5 years, but I wonder if it might be only valid for the specific contract?

I think for Chommage in Switzerland you have to have been working and paying your unemployment insurance for 2 years.
sorry and good luck.

i believe that if you live in france, you are covered by french law ( it's where you pay your taxes etc.)
so you may be eligible indeed, but at a lesser amount (S.M.I.C)
as compared to swiss unemployment. check with your communal office in your village/town

I think a thread had already been opened a long time ago about that subject. As you live in France, then you depend on the French chomage (Pole Emploi is the place to contact). In the Pays de Gex, there is the St Genis Pouilly Office.
I am not sure about the length of time you have to have worked before being entitled to chomage. The best is to contact them NOW to enquire about that.
Other than that, Pole Emploi would require the last 13 payslips, the Attestation d'Employeur (if I were you, I would ask my employer to have it ready on your last day at work so you can take it home on the very same day, otherwise, it may take some time, or not). With these documents, you then have to go to the caisse de chomage where they will have to issue the E301 Form (for Europe), although they do not issue it on the same day, you would have to go back to pick it up. I am not too sure for your case but I believe they normally ask for the payslips for the last 3 years (but to double check with them).
If you are entitled to French chomage, you MUST register online or on the phone the day after your last day at work (i.e. you finish on 31st Jan,then register on 1st Feb) bearing in mind that the 1st of each month, they get "hammered" and lines constantly ring and no one answers. Pole Emploi would also require that you have the French National Insurance number (securite sociale, so you better get in touch with The Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie, in Bellegarde if you live in the Pays de Gex), your ID, a letter from your employer justifying the reason why you are no longer employed with them (if you resign, you are not entitled to anything at all), be it redundancy or end of contract, etc.
If I were you, I would contact Pole Emploi ASAP, you can even do it via email if you can't reach them by phone but I guess you have to do it in French (to double check). The longer it takes to get all you admin paper, the longer it will take to get your money (if you are entitled to it). I am also thinking that if you are part of a European country, if you haven't resigned from your last job back home (Europe), you might be able to claim this way (to double check).
Hope this is helpful.
