Hi,I am a non-EU citizen with a work permit for family reunification (K) active since October 2023. I am about to finish my master’s in mid-December 2024 (receive the last grade). I don’t know when I will receive my diploma. I started my education in September 2022 with a student permit but had been living in Denmark for 15 days before my education started. I have only been granted 14 months of SU, from November 2023 to December 2024.I worked as a part-time student assistant with hours reported to Skat, earning a salary of 162 kr per hour. I have been working approximately 80 hours per month from January 2023 to August 2024 (Easily 600 hrs per year).
First, I would like to know if I am eligible to receive A-kasse?
Second, I would like to know if I can enroll in A-kasse before my graduation (I am over 30, and CA already rejected my free student membership for this reason) or if I need to wait until I am a newly graduated.
If it is the latter, since I will receive my last grade in mid-December, close to the holidays, can I join and then register for vacations to start receiving benefits later than the waiting month?
As I am non-EU, I spend vacations outside the EEA.Thank you for your help.
Hi,
we do not guide about work permit, so concerning that part of your question, we recommend you to ask SIRI.
However we can say that your work permit must:
– give right to take any job with one day notice
– must not be conditional on that you must not receive unemployment benefits.But if we assume that you have the proper work permit, I can not see why you should not be able to get Unemployment benefits.
According to your information you meet the requirements for graduate rights as we describe on this page:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/graduates/Concerning the affiliate-requirement (in your case instead of meeting the language-requirement), its important that you have got income reported to the income-register for 12 months during the last 24 months prior to unemployment. And the total number of hours must be at least 600. According to your information you will meet this requirement.
For you it doesn’t matter if you join the A-kasse before graduation or at latest 14 days after. Your rights to unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) will be the same. You will have 1 month waiting period.
You can easily join now if you want, but you will have to pay member fee to the A-kasse. If you do so, you just have to remember to change status to newly graduated at latest 14 days after graduation.
When you have the graduate rights registered in the A-kasse, you can wait to start receving “dagpenge”, if you plan to have holiday after graduation. When you are granted unemployment benefits as a newly graduate you will have one year with dagpenge which must be used within a “reference”-period of two years.
As long as you dont receive dagpenge, you are free to do what you want to do.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dk
