Hello!
I have been a member of an A-Kasse for more than one year, and I will be graduating in January. However, my plan is to travel for two months and return to Denmark in April. My question is: do I need to register as unemployed (without receiving any benefits) while I am abroad, or is it sufficient to do so in April upon my return?
Additionally, will I still be eligible for the “extra benefits” (as I am a member for more than one year) for the first three months of unemployment starting from April?Hi,
1. You need to change status from student to graduate in your A-kasse. This must be done at latest 2 weeks after graduation. You should only register as unemployed (at Jobnet.dk) and apply for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from the day you want to begin to receive unemployment benefits – this will be the day you return to Denmark.
2. If You by “extra benefits” refer to the higher amount that graduates (without kids) get in the first 3 months then you will still get that.
As newly graduated you have right to 1 year with Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”). And you have up to two years to use the 1 year period with dagpenge. When you start to get paid (regardless of you wait two months) you will still get the higher amount for the first 3 months.The amounts – DKK 15,081 (applicable in 2025) in the first 3 months/481 hours and a lower amount in month 4-12 – are tied to the period with unemployment benefits – not to the time elapsed since completing your education.
When you have received unemployment benefits for 481 hours, which corresponds to 3 months of full unemployment benefits, your unemployment benefit rate will be reduced.
Best regards,
