Moving to another EU country after „quarantine‟ period when quitting a job

Hi,

I am an EU citizen, and I will be quitting my job in Denmark in a few months as it is a negative workplace that is taking a toll on my mental health.

I have been a member of an A-Kasse since I started studying in Denmark 3 years ago, and I have been working in this job for about a year since I finished my Masters. I understand that I need to go through a 3 week „quarantine‟ period where I won’t receive benefits but will still need to be registered with the job centre and actively looking for work.

Depending on the job market in my field, I would perhaps like to take A-Kasse to another EU country to receive benefits while I look for work there. I understand that you have to be registered as unemployed and looking for work for 4 weeks in Denmark before you can take your benefits to another country.

My question is this: does the 3 week „quarantine‟ period after quitting a job count towards the 4 weeks that you need to be registered as unemployed before moving your benefits? I assume it would as the requirements are exactly the same, the only difference being that you don’t receive benefits, but I would like to make sure.

Thanks!
