I have not yet lost my job due to the virus (though it is coming).. But I may be "asked" to take unpaid leave. Can I claim anything?What if I am laid off? Will it depend on my husband's income or is it independent of that?

They can ask, but you don’t have to agree.

If you’re laid off (and they have the right to do so) you can claim a guarantee payment but it’s very low.

I don’t know about other benefits.
