Hi,
you need to sign up with a danish A-kasse. In Denmark this is done online. You must fill out a form on the A-kasse website, and you will become member from the day you fill out the form. You can find sign up links to all danish A-kasser on our homepage, A-kasser.dk.
When you have been member in a swedish A-kasse, I will recommend that you try to get your acquired rights (working and membership periods) transfered to the danish A-kasse. In this way you will gain right to Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from the danish A-kasse faster, because you probably already will meet the requirements for being eligble for dagpenge, when your rights from the swedish A-kasse are taken in to account.
You need a PD U1 document from the swedish A-kasse. This PD U1 you must give to the danish A-kasse. In this document the danish A-kasse can see your acquired rights from the swedish A-kasse.
Read more about transfering rights here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/transfering-periods-of-work-and-insurance-from-another-eea-country/If you are not an swedish/EU citizen, its also important to consider whether its a good idea to join a danish A-kasse. Read more here:

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
as an EU citizen, who will be graduating in Denmark you have the rights to get unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) after the graduate rules.
There are som requirements for being eligible for Unemployment benefits as graduate. You can see them here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/graduates/If you meet all the requirements, and you are approved for dagpenge by your A-kasse, then you can use the right to go to another EU-country to look for job, and still receive dagpenge from the danish A-kasse for up to 3 month.
You can read about the 3 months job-search period here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/transferring-unemployment-benefits/It is very important that you register in the Danish A-kasse (with graduate rights) at latest 14 days after graduation – but you can do it already now.
After you have registered you must ask the A-kasse to issue a PD U2 document for you. This document you have to present for the chech unemployment authority.Hope it helps

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
since January 1, 2022 it has been the municipalities (kommuner) which is responsible for handle the PD U2.
The municipality must carry out the registration and the dialogue with the EU jobseeker in connection with attendance at the municipality. The kommune is also responsible for the dialogue with authorities in the job seeker’s home country, administration of relevant EU forms and ensure that the job seeker creates a CV and is actively looking for a job.
The municipalities have per 1 January 2022 took over the task from Workindenmark.
In some cases, the municipalities have entered into cooperation agreements with an International Citizen Service (ICS municipality), which can register the jobseeker on behalf of the municipality of residence.
So, you must ask your kommune again, and they must tell you exactly who (within the kommune) that should have the PD U2 and the dialogue with you.
If they dont believe you, you can refer to this link:
https://star.dk/indsatser-og-ordninger/virksomhedsservice-og-rekruttering/guide-til-eures-og-international-rekruttering/vaerd-at-vide-om-hjaelp-til-udenlandske-jobsoegende-i-eures-danmark/registreringsprocedure-vedr-eu-jobsoegende-med-dagpenge-fra-hjemlandet/Please note that the registration in the municipality must take place within 7 days from the date shown in the PD U2 document, as later registration will result in benefit consequences for the person.
Hope it helps.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
you can only subscribe as a new member in A-kasse, if you stay in Denmark at the time you apply for membership.
If you already are member of A-kasse, you can keep membership in the danish A-kasse, if you are going to work in a non-EU country, and the country does not have unemployment Insurance.
But be aware that in case you can keep your membership, and later will be unemployed, you can only receive unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from a danish A-kasse if you move back to Denmark, and will be available for the danish labor market.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
har man på et tidspunkt fået udbetalt dagpenge eller barselsdagpenge af A-kasse har man også optjent feriedagpenge. Bemærk, at når det er feriepenge optjent af udbetalte dagpenge kaldes det feriedagpenge (ikke feriepenge).
Man kan godt få udbetalt sine feriedagpenge fra A-kassen, men der gælder nogle betingelser, bl.a. skal man være medlem af en dansk a-kasse både under optjening af feriedagpengeretten og under ferien. Det behøver dog ikke at være den samme a-kasse.
Din optjening af feriedagpenge flytter automatisk med, hvis du skifter a-kasse. Du skal søge om feriedagpenge hos den a-kasse, du er medlem af på det tidspunkt, du ønsker at holde ferie.
Så er du ikke medlem af A-kasse nu kan du ikke få udbetalt dine feriedagpenge. I øvrigt skal du også opfylde en række andre betingelser, bl.a. skal du have ret til dagpenge i tilfælde af ledighed.
Se alle betingelser og læs mere på borger.dk:
https://www.borger.dk/arbejde-dagpenge-ferie/Dagpenge-kontanthjaelp-og-sygedagpenge/Feriedagpenge.
Bemærk også at man optjener feriedagpenge i ferieåret. Ferieåret er perioden 1. september til 31. august (12 måneder). Og at ferien skal afholdes i ferieafholdelsesperioden, som er perioden 1. september til 31. december (16 måneder).

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
i følge vores artikel “Deltidsuddannelse på dagpenge” er der forskellige muligheder for at efteruddanne sig mens man modtager dagpenge.
Den regel der er relevant for dig er muligheden for op til 20 timers uddannelse om ugen.
Man kan deltage i uddannelser, som ikke giver adgang til SU (heller ikke findes som heltidsundervisning med adgang til SU) op til 20 timer om ugen.
Det kan være både private uddannelser og uddannelser under lov om åben uddannelse og deltidsuddannelser under §5 i lov om universiteter.Uddannelsen skal være planlagt til under 20 timer om ugen. Det er ikke afgørende hvor mange timer du reelt bruger.
Derudover gælder at du naturligvis skal opfylde betingelserne for at kunne få dagpenge, herunder at du skal stå til rådighed for arbejdsmarkedet og aktivt søge arbejde, imens du følger uddannelsen. Og A-kassen skal godkende din deltagelse.
Med venlig hilsen
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
Når du modtager supplerende dagpenge, gælder de samme regler for opsigelse, som når du har fuldtidsarbejde. Det vil sige, at du skal have en gyldig grund til din opsigelse, for at undgå (111 timers) karantæne i dagpengesystemet.
Dog gælder, at hvis du siger dit arbejde op i forbindelse med, at din ret til supplerende dagpenge udløber, og i op til 26 uger efter, får du ikke karantæne. (Du kan dog ikke få dagpenge i de 26 uger).
Men da du ikke har opsagt dit job i forbindelse med ophør af supplerende dagpenge, så er din A-kasses afgørelse desværre rigtig.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
You tell you have not been member of a Union…do you mean an A-kasse (Unemployment insurance Fund)?
In Denmark membership of A-kasse and Union are two different things.
Only membership of A-kasse can give you right to Unemployment benefits.
However I assume that you haven’t been member of either an A-kasse nor Union.
In this case there is not possibilty to have Unemployment benefits in case of unemployment.
In Denmark Unemployment Insurance is voluntary, and therefor only people who buy the Insurance (A-kasse membership) are insured againt unemployment.
However if you will continue to live in Denmark after termination of your employment, there will be the possibilty that you can
get the lower social allowance called “kontanthjælp”. However this is only possible if you dont have money/savings yourself.
But about kontanthjælp you must contact the municipality where you live.
We only guide about A-kasse and Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”), not kontanthjælp.

Hi again,
yes for sure the tenant agreement will be prove enough for a permanent address, if the A-kasse ask you.
The registration of CPR is not important in this context.
About procedure to apply:
we have an article/page about this here: https://a-kasser.dk/member/
But it is simple. You can sign up through our site – use the buttons “Sign Up online”, on this page https://www.a-kasser.dk/unemployment-insurance-funds/.
I can see that your PhD study is within the health sector.
Probably your collegues can help you about what A-kasse to choose.
But we recoemmend to choose an A-kasse targeted higher educated people, and also one that covers your discipline.
Yes you must apply at latest 14 days after graduation. You must tell the A-kasse that you want to be registered with graduate rights (in danish: “dimittendrettigheder”), and that you want to receive unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”).
One more important thing: you must register as unemployed at Jobnet.dk, from the day you want to receive dagpenge from (June 21).
While you have not had a (free) study membership for at least 1 year before graduation, then you must accept a quarantine the first month after registration in A-kasse and Jobnet.dk.
So there will be some period in the start where you dont get paid dagpenge.
Best regards,
Anders, http://www.a-kasser.dk
Hi,
as you say yourself, for a non-EU citizen to be eligible for Unemployment benefits (“Dagpenge”), one must have work permit/right to stay and work in Denmark on full time on the day one apply for dagpenge.
This is due to the requirement that one must be available for the labor market in order to receive dagpenge.
Your own work permit has finished, however as an accompanying family member to a work permit holder, you have the right to work full time in Denmark. We do not guide about residence-/work permit, but refers to SIRI. I think you have to find out what happens to your right to work when your wifes work permit expires.
But assuming you can take any job in Denmark, then we can look at the other requirements.
As an (coming) PhD you have to ways to go when it comes to A-kasse and Unemployment benefits.
However the first one requires that you already have been member and paid to A-kasse during you PhD study for at least 1 year as an employee.
In this way you can qualify for unemployment benefits as a “normal” member of an A-kasse, and get a higher benefit amount, than you will as a graduate (see below).
You dont tell us if you have been paying to A-kasse as an paid employee during your PhD, som we assume you dont have.So you must probably use the special rule for graduates.
We have a detailed article about the graduate rule, so we will not write this here again, but recommend you to carefully read this article:
https://a-kasser.dk/graduates/With an PhD you meet the requirement about the education (duration etc.), however you must be aware that
there also is an requirement saying that you are living in Denmark not only when graduating, but also that you had a permanent address in Denmark no later than one day before the start of your education.Best regards,
Anders Weber, http://www.a-kasser.dkHi,
I assume in my answer that you have right to work in Denmark, also after your PhD contract ends. As an Indian national you need a residence-/work permit which gives you the right to take any job with one day notice. If you don’t have/can get that it probably don’t give mening to join A-kasse. For being eligible for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”), you must be available for the danish labor market.
We do not guide about residence-/work permit, but refers to The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI).
When commuting to work on the other side of Øresund, you must be covered by an a-kasse in the country of work (in your case a danish A-kasse).
The cost of membership varies between DKK 451 to DKK 527 (in 2022). You can see a full list of the 22 A-kasser in Denmark here: https://www.a-kasser.dk/unemployment-insurance-funds/
As a PhD student you have two ways to go regarding A-kasse membership:
1. You can have a free study membership, and if you have been student member for at least 1 year when you finish your PhD, you are eligible for benefits according to the “graduate” rule from first day after finishing PhD.
You can also use the graduate rule if you apply for membership at latest 2 weeks after finishing PhD. But in this case you must accept a 1 month quarantine with benefits.
Graduates get only DKK 13,836 per month in 2022 (with no dependent children).
You can read more about free study membership and the graduate rule on our website, in the “guide section”.2. You can also choose to pay for a normal membership for employees (about DKK 470 per month, tax deductable). If you do that there are other requirements for being eligible for benefits. However you will get DKK 19,351 per month.
You can read more about the requirements here: https://www.a-kasser.dk/requirements/.Yes you will be eligible for Unemployment benefits, even if you live in Sweden and work in Denmark.
However you must be aware that if you become unemployed, the rules say that you must change to an A-kasse in the country of residence (in your case Sweden).
If this happens, you can transfer your earned rights (memberhip periods, working periods) from the danish A-kasse to the swedish. This requires that you get a PD U1 document from your danish A-kasse. This PD U1 document is then used by your swedish A-kasse to have your earned rights correctly transfered and registered.

Hej igen,
med at “starte forfra” mener jeg at du skal opfylde de almindelige betingelser for at få dagpenge, og de er:
du skal have været medlem af en dansk A-kasse i 1 år og samtidig er der et indkomstkrav som siger at du skal tjent
mindst kr. 246.924 før du kan søge om dagpenge. Kun indkomst fra perioder hvor du har været medlem af A-kasse kan indgå til opfyldelse af indkomstkravet.Du skal læse mere om betingelser for at opnå dagpengeret her:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/dagpengeret/Med venlig hilsen
Anders WeberHej Lars,
hvis du kommer hjem fra et andet EU-land (eller nordisk land) vil du kunne medregne evt. forsikringsperioder og arbejde i udlandet til at opfylde kravene til at kunne få dagpenge fra en dansk A-kasse. De normale krav er et års medlemskab og et indkomstkrav der siger at man skal have tjent kr. 246.924 i de seneste 3 år (totalt set).
Da du ikke har været medlem af en dansk A-kasse inden for de seneste 5 år, skal du dog opfylde et arbejdskrav for at kunne medregne evt. anciennitet fra den udenlandske (EU/nordiske) “A-kasse”.
Du skal således påbegynde arbejde i Danmark og søge om optagelse i en dansk A-kasse inden 8 uger efter at du er ophørt med at være forsikret i det andet EU/nordiske land. Du skal have indberettet 296 timer til SKATs indkomstregister inden for 12 uger/3 måneder. Arbejdet skal udføres i Danmark.
Kan du ikke opfylde dette arbejdskrav, eller bliver du ikke medlem af en dansk A-kasse inden for 8 ugers fristen, så skal du begynde forfra i det danske A-kasse system.
Men der er ikke nogle regler om at et udlandsophold betyder at man skal opfylde andre krav end danskere der kun har boet i Danmark.
Kommer du hjem fra et ikke-EU land kan du ikke medregne noget fra det andet land, og skal således også starte forfra i A-kasse systemet.
Vi har en artikel på vores hjemmeside om dagpenge efter arbejde i udlandet:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/a-kasse-og-udland/dagpenge.htmlLad mig høre om du har flere spørgsmål.
Med venlig hilsen
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
I assume that your question is about transfering acquired rights (insurance and work periods) from your home country “A-kasse”, and NOT about transfering Unemployment benefits. Its two very different things and different rules apply.
But in the case that we are talking about transfering acquired rights from your home country “A-kasse” (PD U1 document), the rules are as you say:
within 8 weeks after you have ceased to be insured in your home country you must sign up with an danish A-kasse (we recommend to do it as soon as you move to Denmark), and you must begin work in Denmark and work for at least 296 hours over 12 weeks / 3 months.The “work” can also be as self-employed.
If self-employment cannot be documented via the annual statement (“Årsopgørelsen”), the working
hours in the company can be included in the calculation of the 296 hours, if the company during the period
has been cvr-registered, the company is run more than temporarily and the member declares to run self-employed business.The requirements for being eligible for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) as self-employed are similar to the requirements for wage-earners.
You must have been member for at least 1 year and you must have earned at least DKK 246,924 during the last 3 years (in total).
In these two requirements the insurance period and income earned in you home country will be taken into account, if you meet the above mentioned requirements for transfering rights.Income both as wage-earner and self-employed from you home-country can be used.
You can also read more in our articles about these topics:
