Hi,
I am new graduate from the EU, however, neither my working hours (under 600) and nor my current danish level (PD3, module 4) appear enough to be eligible for unemployment benefits. I have been an a-kasse member during my studies. I received an invoice to pay for the next quarter, since I am no longer a student. Since I will not be receiving unemployment benefits, is there a benefit in continuing being member of an a-kasse and pay the membership fee? I also read that, typically, when the unemployment benefits expire, the members can be exempted from the membership fee and may only pay an administrative fee. Could this be relevant in my case that I won’t receive benefits? Thank a lot in advance!
Hi,
if its possible for you to get some kind of job (only for short time is enough) you will be able to use the aggregation rule.
We write about this option here: https://www.a-kasser.dk/changes-in-unemployment-benefits-for-graduates-from-may-2023/.
When using the aggregation rule you do not have to meet the new language requirement or affiliation requirement, as you get your right to unemployment benefit on the basis of paid work combined with education.
Please read the above mentioned article, and talk to your A-kasse about whether its an option for you to use the aggregation rule.
If you find out that you can not use the aggregation rule (for example if you can not find a job), then it gives no meaning to continue A-kasse membership. You should then become a member again when you find a job, and then you will be eligible for unemployment benefits after 1 year membership, assumed that you can earn enough to meet the income-requirement (DKK 273,504) in one year.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dk
