We can disclose information on decisions to recover unemployment benefits and request offsetting of debts against benefits paid in another EU or EEA country.

  • The Enforcement Authority is provided with information on days of benefit from the unemployment insurance fund and payment of such benefits. See Chapter 4, Section 15 of the Enforcement Code (1981:774) and Section 25 b of the FALF.

  • Control information for interest expenses is submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency. The unemployment insurance fund also submits an employer's declaration at an individual level to the Tax Agency. This means that the unemployment insurance fund reports payments and tax deductions monthly. See Chapter 26 of the Tax Procedure Act (2011:1244), SFL.

  • In the event of a personal data breach, the unemployment fund may need to provide the Data Inspectorate with information on what data has been disclosed and to whom.

In addition to the data that the unemployment insurance fund discloses due to a legal obligation or that is necessary to pay unemployment benefits, the unemployment insurance fund only discloses data when the individual has consented to it or when it is necessary to be able to fulfill its obligations to manage unemployment insurance.

The unemployment insurance fund discloses data to Swedbank to be able to pay compensation to those who have applied for compensation from the unemployment insurance fund.

Information about your right to compensation is also provided to the Job Security Council, the Transition Fund, and the Job Security Foundation.
