Hi Anders,

As I have read in this website income requirement is valid the first time being unemployed. The next times it is a requirement to collect 1924 hours.

• My master studies started 15/09/2018. Was a paying member of a-kasse while being student as I am over 30.
• Finished 7/10/2020, so 25 months.
• Yes I was. I received dagpenge for 1 year and 8 months. However I did have a supplementary job whilst being on a-kasse, which extends the period, so if I remember correctly, I might have actually had 7 months remaining.
• It shows 32 hours – “Det opgjorte antal arbejdstimer er 32. Antallet er opgjort den 26. november 2019.”
• Yes, they said I have to earn 1924 hours.

Hi again and thank you for the clear answer.

My move to another EU country in December cannot be canceled, but I decided I will return to Denmark to obtain my rights to unemployment benefits. Is there a specific requirement for how many days before my graduation I should be back in the country?

I am planning to remain registered as a resident of Denmark in the CPR during my stay abroad, but without a permanent address (source: https://cpr.dk/english/moving-from-denmark/). When I come back, I will still have my residence permit and my CPR number, but I will stay at a friend’s place as a visitor during the entire 4-week period before moving abroad again. Will there be problems with my unemployment benefits because of this?

And just to get the timeline straight. Let’s say my final exam is on 11/1. I would immediately change my membership status to graduate and register as an unemployed jobseeker on jobnet.dk. If I want to go look for a job abroad, I could do so after 4 weeks of being registered on Jobnet, so on 9/2. Can you please confirm me this?

And in this case:

• What would happen during this 4-week period exactly? Would I have to apply for jobs and if yes, in which country?
• When would I receive my first unemployment benefits, and when my last?

I apologize for so many questions, I just want to make sure I do things right. Thanks a lot!
