Good Day,

Thank you for your time.

Hi
thank you for your question.

1. If you will soon graduate you should use the special rule for new graduates.
Please read http://a-kasser.dk/graduates.
You will get about DKK 14.690 month = 82% of maximum unemployment benefit.
2. To be entitled to 100% unemployment benefits when you become unemployed,
you must have had at least 52 weeks of work within the last three years and been a member
of an unemployment insurance fund for at least one year.
You tell you have signed with a-kasse through PROSA. PROSA is a UNION,
NOT an a-kasse.
You should have been member of an A-kasse for one year. Please check that!

If you only have been member of PROSA not an A-kasse then I will suggest that you
use the rule for new graduates. You will only get 82% of fulle unemployment benefit,
but its better than nothing..

Best regards

Hello,

Thank your for the fast reply. I have not been a member of a-kasse before so  i guess my only option is to go with special rule for graduates. I have only one question i am finishing Bachelor in Web development at KEA(Copenhagen school of Design and Technology) so with which A-kasse fund should i register MA A-kasse or CA A-kasse.
Thank you for your time.

Hi
If you think your future job will be in the private sector working with , IT-strategy, IT-consultant, e-business, webshop or e-marketing related stuff you should choose CA A-kasse.
If you are more towards the technician IT, development, coding I think the right choise would be MA A-kasse.
