hello.
I have been a member in Danish social security scheme as of 15th of November 2023. From this period I only had KU (Copenhagen university) as your employer – therefore I became member in the Danish social security scheme.
My due date is November 27, 2024, but my contract with KU expires October 1, so would be grateful if you could consult if I am eligible for social benefits regarding my maternity.best regards, Dovile
Hi,
I need some more information before I can help you:
1. What do you mean by “member in Danish social security scheme” – Have you been member of a danish A-kasse since 15th of November 2023 ?
2. If Yes, have you transfered member periods from another EU-country’s Unemployment Insurance to the danish A-kasse?
3. Do you have a normal salary at KU?
4. How much is your working time (per week) at KU?Please answer in the forum, and I can try to answer you.
Best regards,

if it is Copenhagen University as an employer you are talking about, then its not possible that they have paid for A-kasse. All employees pay something called AM-bidrag, but that is not A-kasse.
A-kasse (Unemployment Insurance) is voluntary in Denmark, and it is something the individual must decide if he/she want to pay for.So for me it seems like you are not (and have never been) member of an A-kasse. And even if you had you would not be able to meet the requirement of 1 year membership.
As unemployed going on maternity leave you must be eligible for Unemployment benefits before you can get Maternity benefits.You must be in work or be a member of an A-kasse to be able to receive maternity benefits (“barselsdagpenge”).
So if my understanding of your situation is correct, then you can not get maternit benefits (“barselsdagpenge”).
Let me know if you have further comments.

Hi,
I think maybe you should also read the guide at borger.dk:
Maternity/paternity benefits.There you can see the same as I say:
As unemployed going on maternity leave you must be eligible for Unemployment benefits before you can get Maternity benefits.
And you can only be eligible for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) if you are member of an A-kasse.KU can not have paid for your A-kasse. I have never heard about that. KU – like other employers – will have to pay some social contributions, and also employees will pay AM-bidrag through their salary payment note. BUT these contributions are not payment for A-kasse membership.
You should not compare A-kasse with your right to have treatment at hospital etc. If you work legally in Denmark, you are covered by the Danish health insurance system.
If you are not member of an A-kasse, you can not get Unemployment benefits.
Hope it helps.
