We can help you with the transition

We want to make sure that you have continued coverage from the insurance. That is why we can help you switch to us. By filling out a power of attorney when you apply for membership, we can make sure that your current membership ends when your membership with us begins.

Continue to pay the fee

Continue to pay the fee to your current unemployment insurance fund for the entire duration of your membership.

Unemployed? You can still switch to us

If you meet the entry requirements, you can switch to us even if you are unemployed. Please note that payments of the benefit can be delayed as a result of a switch of unemployment insurance fund.

If you are unemployed and you are receiving benefits, you will continue receiving benefit from the same benefit period when you join us.

Send us the form Sök ersättning and notify arbetsförmedlingen that you have switched unemployment fund and joined us. If you are receiving the basic benefit from Alfa-kassan you need to state this when you apply for membership with us.
