New compensation period

Compensation period soon ending – we assess a new income requirement

When a person has fewer than 50 days left in their compensation period, we assess whether they meet a new income requirement, using the income information available from the Swedish Tax Agency. Once the assessment is complete, we inform you of the outcome in Mina sidor.

If you have had a compensation period of 66 days, the assessment is made when the days come to an end.

Each new compensation period begins with a qualifying deduction of 2 days

The new period starts with a qualifying deduction corresponding to two compensation days. The qualifying days are not deducted from the compensation period.

Compensation level in the new period

The compensation in the new period can be calculated in 2 ways. We choose the option that is most beneficial for the unemployed person.

The compensation level is calculated according to either 1 or 2.

• 95 percent of the most recently determined compensation level. If the person has received compensation under the previous unemployment insurance, the old daily allowance is recalculated into an average monthly income.

• 80 percent of the compensation‑qualifying income.

No income requirement – contact Arbetsförmedlingen

If you have worked too little to meet the income requirement, we will inform you of this. You should then contact your employment officer to discuss participation in Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin. This is decided by Arbetsförmedlingen and entitles you to compensation in the form of activity support from Försäkringskassan. The activity support is paid as a daily compensation (maximum SEK 818) and corresponds to 60 percent of the average income we have calculated, up to the maximum compensation of SEK 30,008 per month. This only applies if you continue to be a member of the unemployment fund.
