If you become unemployed

Who can apply for compensation from a-kassan?

Anyone who is a member of our unemployment insurance fund can apply for compensation.

How much money will I receive?

There are two types of compensation, one that is based on your previous salary (income-based compensation) and one that is called basiccompensation. The type of compensation you are entitled to depends on how long you have been a member with us.

Compensation based on your previous salary

To receive compensation based on your previous salary, you must have been a member with us for at least twelve months and fulfilled the basic requirements and working conditions during your membership.

You can then receive up to 80% of your previous salary up to a maximum of SEK 1,200 per day for the first 100 days. After this period, the compensation is reduced to a maximum of SEK 1,000 per day.

Basic compensation

If you have not been a member for twelve months but otherwise meet the conditions for entitlement to compensation, you can receive basic compensation. You will then receive a maximum of SEK 510 per day.

What are the basic requirements?

The basic requirements mean that you are registered with the Swedish Public Employment Service. You must be able and willing to take a job of at least three hours every day and on average at least 17 hours a week and are otherwise available to the labour market.

You also need to fulfill a working condition, which means that in the last twelve months you have worked to a certain extent. If you want to know more, you are welcome to contact us!
