from Swedish A-kassa to Danish A-kasse

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.

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:

Please post any comments in this fora.

Hi,

yes you need to tell Akademikernes A-kasse that you want to transfer your rights (insurance and working periods) from the swedish A-kasse. They will tell you what they need of information (probably PD U1 document and proof of income from Sweden like payment notes or other).
