A full-time insured member must now meet an income requirement of 526,464 DKK. Before, the requirement was 508,656 DKK. At most, 21,936 DKK per month can be counted, compared with 21,194 DKK before.
Reported B-income is now also fetched from the income register. Before, it was only A-income. B-income without a reporting obligation is fetched from the annual statement, unless the member documents the working month with a contract or similar. The former rule on B-income for years without a completed annual statement has been removed.
A member who is sick on their first day of unemployment and is not placed can receive employment supplement if the conditions are met. The right to a supplement under subsection 3 can now also be transferred to a new unemployment benefit period within 3 years of the payment. The right to a supplement under subsection 1 could already be transferred within 3 years of placement, but only if the hours with supplement had not been paid in the current unemployment benefit period. When calculating hours, hours under section 8(1), no. 5, 2nd sentence, are now also counted.
