Payments
We pay out benefits once a month. To get a payment, you must have received a decision granting your benefit. You also need to report what you have done during your unemployment.
Submit monthly application or time report
To be able to pay out your benefit, we need to know what you have done during your unemployment. For example, we need to know if you have been on parental leave, worked, or were unable to look for a job due to other reasons.
If you received a decision after October 1, 2025, you must submit monthly applications. If your decision was made before that date, you should continue submitting time reports.
Upcoming payments
- Submit time reports by September 29 to receive payment on October 2.
- Submit monthly applications and time reports by October 20 to receive payment on October 23.
- Submit monthly applications and time reports by November 24 to receive payment on November 27.
- Submit monthly applications and time reports by December 18 to receive payment on December 23.
Payments are made in arrears, which means, for example, you receive a payment in November for what you reported in October.
If you do not have an electronic ID
If you do not have an electronic ID and send your monthly application or time report by post, your payment may be delayed.
Register your bank account
Register your account with Swedbank’s account register, regardless of which bank you use, to receive payments directly to your bank account. If you have not registered a bank account, you will receive a payment notice by post, which you can redeem online via Swedbank.
