I am a PhD student from China currently studying at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). I am writing to inquire about my eligibility for unemployment benefits upon graduation.
I recently came across information on your website stating that non-EEA graduates may not be eligible for these benefits due to work permit limitations ([link to the relevant page](https://www.a-kasser.dk/non-eea-graduates/have-work-permit-without-limitations/index.html#:~:text=Non-EEA%20graduates%20with%20a%203%20year%20work%20permit,permit%2C%20to%20get%20a%20work%20permit%20without%20limitations)). Meanwhile, someone else informed me that benefits not paid under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act, such as unemployment benefits (A-kasse), may still be available. This has left me quite confused, as my residence permit does not clarify this aspect.
Could you please clarify whether I would be eligible for unemployment benefits after graduation, if I finish my consistent contributions to A-kasse in the next one yearr? Any guidance or additional information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Hi,
during the job search stay (normally 3 years) that international students can get after they have completed a higher education in Denmark (according to udlændingelovens § 9 i, stk. 12, jf. § 9 i, stk. 1 og 2 og jf. studiebekendtgørelsen nr. 363 af 30. marts 2023 om meddelelse af opholds- og arbejdstilladelse till studerende, § 5, stk. 2),
the same support requirement applies as during the student stay.This means that a student may not receive public assistance/support during his entire stay in Denmark (the study stay and the 3-year job search stay).
According to SIRI (we have asked them) public support includes not only benefits under the Active Social Policy Act, but also Unemployment benefits from A-kasse (“dagpenge”).
So I am afraid that it would be waste of money for you to pay to A-kasse.
There is not anything you can do to get “dagpenge” as long as you don’t have a permanent residence permit (or is a spouse to someone who have).
Let me know if you have further questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dk
