Fill in your monthly benefit card

The EU regulation establishing the Single Digital Gateway (SDG) says that cross border users from other EU countries must have access to information and self-service solutions on, among other things, unemployment.

In this guide, you can find information on how to fill out the unemployment insurance funds (Krifas) online procedure regarding declaration of unemployment and applying for unemployment benefits.

It is important that you answer the questions correctly. It may have consequences for your entitlement to unemployment benefit if you provide incorrect information or fail to disclose circumstances of importance to your entitlement to unemployment benefit. Information which turns out to be incorrect may lead to claims for reimbursement of unemployment benefits and loss of rights.

If you find it difficult to find a specific question or word in the instructions, you can use the search function in pdf/word.

Please contact Krifa, if you have any questions or need help when completing the online

You must fill in a benefit card every month in order to receive unemployment benefit.

You must fill in the benefit card for the whole month, even if you have not been unemployed all month. Also for periods when you have not been registered with the job centre, e.g. because you have worked.

As unemployed, you are obliged to inform us about everything that may affect your entitlement to unemployment benefits. On the benefit card, you must therefore provide information on any work, self-employment, illness, holiday and other things that may affect your right to unemployment benefit.

When can you fill out the benefit card?

The benefit card is released one week before the end of the month. If you fill in the unemployment benefit card at this time, you will receive the payment on the last working day of the month. You must fill in your expected working hours, etc. for the last part of the month.

The deadline for filling in the benefit card is 1 month and 10 days from the end of the month. If you fill in the benefit card later than that, you will not be able to receive unemployment benefit for the month.

Information we need every month

As a starting point, you receive unemployment benefits for 160.33 hours per month. From here, hours are subtracted if, for example, you have worked, been on holiday, been ill, been on maternity leave, not been registered with the job centre or not been entitled to unemployment benefit.

There must be unemployment benefits for at least 14.8 hours in a month in order for us to pay benefits for the month.

Remember to tell us if, for example, you

don’t have childcare
participate in an education
are moving
are going abroad
are taking a holiday
say no thanks to a job that is mediated by the “a-kasse” or the jobcentre
stopped working as an employee
have limitations in your earning capacity

We compare your information about working hours etc. on the benefit card with the information your employer has reported to the income register – to the Danish Tax Authorities. If you have provided other information than your employer has reported, we can regulate the payment of unemployment benefits.

Below you will find some phrases and questions that you usually will be asked when filling in the benefit card. If you have any questions or need help, please contact us.
