Unemployment benefit after graduating

Hi,

I am not sure what you want to….

Do you want to use the rule for new graduates or the rule for salaried persons?

If you use the rule for graduates then your income is not relevant – only your education counts. So in that case its not relevant when you earn/have earned income. When using the graduate rule you also must meet the language-requirement. (https://www.a-kasser.dk/graduates/language-requirement/)

If you want to use the rule for salaried persons your A-kasse must find out whether you can meet the income-requirement, maybe by using the aggregation rule (combine education with income from work). Read about the aggregation rule here https://www.a-kasser.dk/changes-in-unemployment-benefits-for-graduates-from-may-2023/ and read about the income-requirement here https://www.a-kasser.dk/requirements/.

When using the rule for salaried persons you do not need to meet a language-requirement.

Be also aware that when using the rule for salaried person (including the aggregation rule) only periods where you have been member of an A-kasse can count towards meeting the income-requirement.

Be also aware that you can only use the aggregation rule if your job stops after you have finished your education.

Yes, there are many different rules/options. You can give us some more information about your situation (e.g. are you member of an A-kasse, and since when?, how much have you worked/earned and since when?), if you want us to give you more precise recommendations.
