Graduate

How much money will you get?

The daily benefit rate for a full-time insured graduate is DKK 646 for five days per week, which is DKK 13,997 per month.

You can join the CA a-kasse if:

  • You had a permanent address in Denmark no later than one day before the start of your education.
  • You are in Denmark no later than 14 days (including weekends) after you end your education, i.e. you must apply for membership within two weeks (14 days) of completing your education.
  • Note: If you are an EU citizen you can join the unemployment insurance fund. You will be entitled to benefits after the same rules as Danish citizens.

If you are not a EU citizen, we advise you to contact us to hear more about your options. You can join the unemployment insurance fund after the same rules as Danish citizens. You are, however only entitled to benefits if you have a work permit. The work permit can not be limited to a certain job or a certain amount of hours. A work permit that you have applied for and gotten for a specific job is not sufficient. Neither is a 'Student work permit' in those months where you only are allowed to work 15 hours. Contact our expert in the subject, Ms. Jutta Wessel Knaack, phone +45 3342 9146 or e‑mail juw@ca.dk

When should you apply for membership?

No later than 14 days (including weekends) after completing your education – this deadline is extremely important. If we receive your application later than that, you will not be entitled to benefits until you have been a member for 12 months and have worked for a period equivalent to 52 weeks’ fulll-time employment within a three-year period of membership. So contact us immediately you complete your education!

When have you completed your education?

Your period of education is at an end when all student activities are terminated and you have passed your exam and received your final grades.
 
When will you receive your benefits?

As a new graduate you are entitled to unemployment benefit just one month after your graduation provided we receive your application within 14 days, as stated above. Please note that you must have a Danish residence and work permit to receive benefits.
