When unemployed

When you received your decision of unemployment benefits there are a few things you need to do for your time with unemployment benefits to run smoothly. For us to pay out your unemployment benefits you need to send us the timesheet. You also need to report your job seeking activities to arbetsförmedlingen between the 1st and 14th of every month. To be eligible for benefits you need to live and look for work in Sweden.

Report your time in Mina sidor

You have to fill in a timesheet (tidrapport) in Mina sidor to receive your benefits. The report covers a week where you state what you have been doing during the past week. Read more

Report your job seeking activities to arbetsförmedlingen

Report to arbetsförmedlingen every month Remember to report your job seeking activities to arbetsförmedlingen between the 1st and 14th every month. If your activity report is not submitted on time or if the employment service believe that you have not been active enough in your job seeking, we will get a notice. A notice can result in a warning or suspension of payment.

Why report? The more your employment officer knows, the sooner he/she can help you. To be able to get the right support they need to know which jobs you have applied for, and what other activities you have undertaken to overcome unemployment.
