You must
When you join the unemployment insurance fund in connection with completing your education, there are fixed unemployment benefit rates.
The unemployment benefit rates depend on your age, whether you are a provider or non-provider and whether you are insured full-time or part-time with the unemployment insurance fund. You are a provider if you have one or more children under the age of 18.
You are also welcome to try our unemployment benefit calculator. (Danish only)
If you are entitled to unemployment benefits on the basis of your education (if you graduate and join the unemployment insurance fund in connection with completing your education), you are entitled to unemployment benefit for 1 year.
If you are already a member of the unemployment insurance fund and have a current unemployment benefit entitlement from earlier unemployment, you can use this right at the rate you were previously paid. However, if you were paid unemployment benefit as a newly qualified non-provider your rate will be reduced.
Fill out the form education completed
You must fill in the form Education completed no later than 14 days after you have finished your education. You must fill it out regardless of whether you have got a job, do not have a job yet and need to apply for unemployment benefit, start a new education or interrupt the education you are in.
Fill out the unemployment declaration form, if you do not have a job efter your education
You must fill out an unemployment declaration form if you want to apply for unemployment benefits. Read our general information about the declaration form. You can apply for unemployment benefits from the first day you are unemployed. But remember, in order to receive unemployment benefits from day one, you must have been a member of an unemployment insurance fund for 12 months. If you have been a member of the unemployment insurance fund for less than 12 months when you apply for unemployment benefit, there will be a waiting period of one month during which you cannot receive unemployment benefits.
