In Germany it is not entirely 1:1. If you receive Hartz4 unemployment (€404) and have a so called €450-minijob (which is the cutoff for social security taxes etc), then €170 are additional income and €280 are offset with you unemployment, giving you €574 overall.

At least that's how I understood the mechanics just now, having never been forced to actually understand them.
