Join an unemployment insurance fund
If you are working in Denmark, you are subject to Danish social security legislation. Therefore, you should be insured against unemployment in Denmark.
The Danish unemployment insurance system is a voluntary insurance scheme. This means that you are not automatically insured against unemployment when working in Denmark.
How apply for unemployment benefits
If you want to be covered by unemployment insurance in Denmark, you must join a Danish unemployment insurance fund, also known as an 'a-kasse'.
You can become a member of an unemployment insurance fund if you are at least 18 years of age, have more than 2 years left before you reach your retirement age, and reside in Denmark or a boarder worker.
You can find more information on the Danish unemployment insurance system and legislation:
When applying for membership, you typically will be asked if you would like to join the 'a-kasse' as a student, as newly graduate or as an employee or self-employed.
You will also choose between full-time insurance and part-time insurance. The full-time insurance costs more, but you will receive more in unemployment benefits if you become unemployed.
Applying for unemployment benefits
The EU regulation establishing the Single Digital Gateway (SDG) says that cross border users from other EU countries must have access to information and self-service solutions on, among other things, unemployment.
Read the guide if you want information on how to apply for unemployment benefit, how to join a unemployment fund and much more.
In the guide, you can find information on how to fill out the unemployment insurance funds' (“a-kassens”) online procedure regarding how to join an unemployment fund.
It is important that you answer the questions correctly. It may have consequences for your entitlement to unemployment benefit if you provide incorrect information or fail to disclose circumstances of importance to your entitlement to unemployment benefit. Information which turns out to be incorrect may lead to claims for reimbursement of unemployment benefits and loss of rights.
If you find it difficult to find a specific question or word in the instructions, you can use the search function in pdf/word.
If you have any questions or need help when completing the online procedure:
