Hi,
I assume that the person was receiving Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from A-kasse before beginning to receive maternity benefits (“barselsdagpenge”).
In that case the person can continue in the “dagpenge”-period after the maternity leave is completed, and receive dagpenge for the rest of the 2-year period which is left.The period of which the person received dagpenge before maternity leave is deducted in the total 2 year period of which a person can receive dagpenge.
The normal 3 year period in which a dagpenge-period has to be used is extended with the maternity leave period.
Off course the person must be available for the labor market, search for jobs, attend to meetings in A-kasse and Jobcenter etc.
Hope this answers your questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
I will only recommend part-time membership (“deltidsforsikret”) if you have difficulties with meeting the normal (“full-time”) income requirement and/or if you really only want to work maximum 30 hours per week.
For part-time insured the income requirement is 175,488 kr. However you will also get lower amount in Unemployment benefits.
If you only want to work part-time/search for part-time jobs, off course a part-time membership could be an option.
You can still have full-time membership even you do not work full-time. However in case of unemployment you have to apply for full-time jobs.
The A-kasse can see if you work more than the 30 hours per week, and will in that case change your membership from part-time to full-time.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
1. Only salary during maternity leave (paid by your employer) can be used to meet the income requirement. Hence, “Barselsdagpenge” paid by “Udbetaling Danmark” can not be used to meet the income requirement.
2. You have to meet the income requirement for the year where you apply for unemployment benefits. So if you apply now you must meet the 2024 requirement (kr. 263,232).
3. As it is only income during membership periods that is taken into account to calculate the income requirement, the earliest the earning period can start is the day you joined A-kasse.
4. All Danish employers, companies and paying authorities are obliged to report taxable income for the individual citizen to a central register – the so-called Income Register. However only income registrered in the income register of which there has to be paid AM-bidrag can be used to meet the income requirement for being eligible for Unemployment benefits.
5. It must be income that, according to the tax regulations, is income related to work income. This means that only income from which labor market contributions (AM-bidrag) must be paid can be included in the calculation. Unemployment benefits/Maternity benefits and other transfer income of which no labor market contribution is paid, cannot be included in the income requirement.Let me know if you have further questions.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
we only guide about A-kasse and dagpenge. I can not see that your question is about A-kasse and/or dagpenge?
Please ask more precise about A-kasse/dagpenge, if you have a question about that.
best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
whether you can receive unemployment benefits or not, depend (as a non-EU citizen) on, among other things the type of work/residence permit you have.
We do not guide about work permit, but recommend you instead to contact SIRI about that part of your question.
However to be able to get unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) you will need a work permit that:
– allows you to take any job with one day notice, and
– the work/residence permit must no be conditional on that you do not receive Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”).If you can meet these requirements (you probably can’t) an PhD will normally be meet the requirements for graduate rights regarding unemployment benefits. You can see all requirements here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/graduates/As a PhD student it could also be an option (again only if you have the right work/residence permit) to get dagpenge based on the salary you get as a PhD student. Read more here (only in danish):
https://www.a-kasser.dk/phd-studerende/Hope it helps you.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
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.

no its not possible.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej Peter,
vi er ikke eksperter indenfor efterløn. Men jeg har fundet følgende oplysninger:
Du skal betale efterlønsbidrag frem til din efterlønsalder. Personer født i perioden 01.01.59 – 31.12.75 skal indbetale i mindst 25 år.
Er du født før 1. juli 1964, og har du betalt efterlønsbidrag fra 1. april 1999, er det dog tilstrækkeligt, at du har betalt efterlønsbidrag i 20 år inden for de sidste 25 år.Personer der er født i perioden 2. juli 1960 til 31. december 1975, har mulighed for at holde en bidragsfri periode.
En bidragsfri periode vil ikke få betydning for din ret til efterløn.
Du skulle gerne have modtaget et brev fra din a-kasse om, at du i en periode kan undlade at betale efterlønsbidrag.
Du har ret til at holde en bidragsfri periode, hvis du er:
- født i perioden 2. juli 1960 til 31. december 1975
- begyndt at betale efterlønsbidrag før du fyldte 35. år og før 1. januar 2008 eller
- hvis du har betalt efterlønsbidrag i 2007, og på det tidspunkt var over 35 år
- kan nå at betale efterlønsbidrag i mindst 25 år inden din efterlønsalder og ikke har fået det tilbagebetalt
Du skal være opmærksom på at du når du vil på efterløn, skal du opfylde alle betingelser for ret til efterløn. For personer født mellem 01.01.59 – 31.12.75 betyder det bl.a. at:
- Du skal have været uafbrudt medlem af en a-kasse og have indbetalt efterlønsbidrag fra 1. januar 2008, og indtil du når efterlønsalderen, dog mindst 25 år.
- Kunne opfylde betingelserne for ret til dagpenge ved ledighed
- Have bopæl i Danmark eller i et andet EØS-land.
Vi anbefaler selvfølgelig at du også spørger din egen A-kasse.
Med venlig hilsen
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
for non-EU citizens its only possible to get Unemployment benefits, if they have a permanent residence permit in Denmark, or they have EU residence as a family member to an EU citizen.
And off course only if they otherwise meet the requirements for being eligbile for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”).
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
as you already are in a “dagpenge”-period, you can only get better conditions if you qualify for a new period with dagpenge.
However, because you have not worked since you started to receive dagpenge, you will not be able to meet the requirements for getting a new period with dagpenge.
You can not use the aggregation rule anymore, since you have used your education to get dagpenge as a graduate after the graduate rule. An education can not be used two times as a basis for getting dagpenge.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
Following the Withdrawal Agreement, a persons rights as a British citizen to social benefits remain unchanged as if the person were still an EU citizen
If your husband is covered by the withdrawal agreement (we do not guide about that), it means that the EU rules about coordination of EU Social Security applies.
https://www.a-kasser.dk/eu-social-security-coordination/
One of the principles is the right to “export” Unemployment benefits for up to 3 months when an unemployed person want to search for job in another EU-country. However the withdrawal-agreement only gives right to look for job in UK with unemployment benefits from Denmark – not to search for job in other EU-countries.
Off course your husband must be eligible for Unemployment benefits and meet the other requirements for transferring unemployment benefits. You can see the requirements here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/transferring-unemployment-benefits/If your husband is covered by the withdrawal-agreement it also apply to family-members, and hence its our opinion that you also should be able to use the EU-coordination rules, including exporting of Unemployment benefits.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
the affiliation requirement has to be fullfilled only on the date where you actually apply for unemployment benefits, hence from the day when you register as unemployed on Jobnet.dk
However its important that you at latest 2 weeks after you graduate get your status as newly graduate registered in the A-kasse.
If you have been study-member in the A-kasse you must change status from student to graduate.
About your second question:
When some of the work is carried out in another EU country, there are two requirements you must be aware of:
At least 150 out of the 600 hours has to be completed in Denmark, and also the last hour of paid work has to be in Denmark.So, yes it would be fine as you describe to come back and work for one month in Denmark, before you register as unemployed.
Some A-kasser write on their website that 150 hours have to be carried out in Denmark after returning to Denmark. Others say like us, thats its enough that the last hour is carried out in Denmark. Therefor we strongly advise you to get this confirmed by your own A-kasse.
As we describe in this article https://www.a-kasser.dk/changes-in-unemployment-benefits-for-graduates-from-may-2023/ an option for you – when you have work after graduation – would be to consider using the “aggregation rule” (combine education with income from work).
Using the aggregation rule gives you some advantages compared to using the “normal” graduate rule:
1. You dont need to meet the language (or affiliation requirement).
2. your right to Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) is based on meeting the income-requirement (not based on the graduate rule). You will get dagpenge 2 years compared to 1 year with the graduate rule.
3. as you benefit rate (amount you get paid) is calculated on basis of income earned from work, there is a good chance that the amount will be higher compared to what is paid according the graduate rule.
Since June 7 2024 it has been a requirement that a person (graduate) decide at latest 2 weeks after graduation whether he/she want to have the unemployment benefits paid efter the graduate rule (and have the fixed graduate benefit amount), or want to have the benefits calculated after the normal income-requirement (hereunder the aggregation rule). This decision cannot be changed after the 2-week deadline.
We strongly recommend to (also) ask your A-kasse about the agggregation rule if you consider using this.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
it is correct what your A-kasse have told you. You can not get dagpenge from A-kasse as long as you are sick.
When you are not sick anymore, you can apply for dagpenge in your A-kasse.
Period with sickness (over 160,33 hours) will extend the period in which the A-kasse will look back in time (3 years) to see if you meet the income requirement for being eligible for dagpenge.
So if you meet the requirements now, you will probably also do after the period with sickness.
However, the A-kasse must assess whether you are healthy and available for the labor market. This means that as a full-time insured you must be able to take over work for 37 hours a week with a day’s notice, or 30 hours if you are part-time insured.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej Lasse,
jeg går ud fra at du er ledig nu og modtager dagpenge.
Den første forudsætning for at du kan få A-kassen (evt. jobcentret) til at betale er at du kan blive omfattet af de regler der gælder for (efter-) uddannelse af ledige, herunder dagpengemodtagere.
De ret begrænsede muligheder der er for at deltage på uddannelse/kurser når man modtager dagpenge, har vi omtalt i en artikel:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/tag-en-uddannelse-sammen-med-dagpengeAf denne artikel fremgår også at det især er ufaglærte eller faglærte med en forældet uddannelse som kan bevilges efteruddannelse på dagpenge.
Med en professionsbachelor tilhører du ikke målgruppen for efteruddannelse i dagpengesystemet. Og du vil jo heller ikke deltage på kurset med henblik på efterfølgende at komme ud at arbejde. Det er ligesom det der er hensigten med al efteruddannelse indenfor A-kasse systemet – nemlig at man skal prøve at få den ledige i job.
Jeg kan derfor ikke se at du har mulighed for at få A-kassen til at betale. Der sker dog aldrig noget ved at spørge dem.
Uanset hvad, så er det vigtigt at du informerer din A-kasse om deltagelsen på kurset. Du har jo som dagpengemodtager pligt til at stå til rådighed for arbejdsmarkedet.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
you are considered as a cross-border commuter. In this case there are special EU-rules regarding unemployment Insurance and Unemployment benefits.
You have to stay as member in the swedish Unemployment Fund (“A-kassa”) until you begin to work in Denmark.
When/if you find a job in Denmark you must become member in a danish A-kasse (and cancel your membership in the swedish A-kassa).
There is a 8-week deadline, which says that you have to become member in a danish A-kasse at latest 8 weeks after you have stopped in the swedish A-kasse. However we recommend to join a danish A-kasse as soon as you start working here.
If you become temporarily or partially unemployed in Sweden, you must apply for unemployment benefits in Sweden.
If you become unemployed full-time as a cross-border worker, you will change to the Danish system for unemployment insurance, which means that you must register with a Danish A-kasse and cancel insurance in Sweden.
As a cross-border commuter you do NOT need to meet the normal requirement for being able to transfer acquired rights from the swedish A-kassa (working period and insurance period). This means that even though you have not been member of a danish A-kasse within the last 5 years, your work and insurance period from Sweden will be transfered to the danish A-kasse.
If you want to remain covered by swedish social security (and Unemployment Insurance) you may have this option if you work 25-50% of your working time (for the swedish employer) in Denmark. It can be home work. This option is according to the so called “Øresundsaftale”.
