When you receive compensation
When you receive compensation, you must follow the action plan you made with Arbetsförmedlingen. If you do not, you may receive a warning or lose compensation for one or more days.
What to do when you receive compensation
-
Follow the action plan
When you register with Arbetsförmedlingen you will create an action plan for finding a job. The plan includes for example what meetings and activities you should attend.
-
Apply for suitable jobs
The jobs you apply for must be suitable, which means you are qualified for them and will accept them if offered. Arbetsförmedlingen will assess whether there is a good chance that you can get a job in your professional filed near where you live. If there is not a good chance, you must apply for a job in other professions or in other parts of the country. The jobs you apply for should still be suitable. The action plan states which and how many jobs you must apply for each month.
-
Submit activity reports
To show which jobs you have applied for and other things you have done to get a job, you fill in Arbetsförmedlingen's activity report. You will find the report when you log in to their website. Submit the report by the 14th of each month. Remember to send it in on time, otherwise it may affect your compensation.
What happens if I do not do what I am supposed to?
If you do not follow your action plan or submit activity reports, we will be notified by the Arbetsförmedlingen. We will then contact you to find out what has happened. We will then decide whether you should receive a warning or not receive compensation for one or more days. Your compensation can be affected like this:
First time: you receive a warning and your compensation is not affected.
Second time: 1 day without compensation.
Third time: 5 days without compensation.
Fourth time: 10 days without compensation.
Fifth time: you lose your right to compensation and have to meet a new income requirement to get compensation again.
