A-kasse Bookable Period: Sep 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2023

Hi,

I am not sure what you mean by “work time-off system”, but I will try to answer anyway.

You must use your 2-year unemployment benefit period (“ydelsesperiode”) within a 3-year period (“referenceperiode”). However, periods when the member receives maternity benefits (“barselsdagpenge”) from Udbetaling Danmark extend the reference period.

You don’t precisely tell if you have received barselsdagpenge, or you have been paid salary by an employer during your leave.

But if you have received barselsdagpenge, the 3-year period in which you must use your dagpenge is extended with the length of the maternity period

So to find out when you latest have to use the last 4 days with dagpenge from your A-kasse, you must find out when the dagpenge period started, add 3 year and add the lenght of the maternity period. This will give a date, on which you will lose the 4 days if they are not used.

All these things should be registered automatically by your A-kasse. And you should be able to see when the reference period expires, in your A-kasse’s self-service solution, or you can off course call them and ask.

And of course, to get the last 4 days paid out you must meet the requirements – meaning you must be unemployed and be available for the labor market.

Let me know if you need further help.
