OK

The reform introduces two new three-year pilot schemes:

  • An experiment where selected unemployment benefit recipients have their contact with the unemployment fund extended from three to four months before transferring to the municipality
  • A trial where selected unemployment benefit recipients are given a free choice of actor (municipality, unemployment fund or other actor) during the first four months of the contact process.

The reform also entails some changes in the requirements for the unemployment funds' general efforts, and as an unemployment fund, we must therefore rethink our contact process for unemployed members so that we help them in the best possible way. There will also be more focus on the results of the efforts - do the unemployed get a job or education? The new contact process is scheduled to come into effect on July 1, 2026.

How the agreement is translated into legislation is crucial

First, the entire agreement must now be translated into legislation - and it's not entirely unimportant how this happens. For example, the two new trials mean that alongside the new contact process, we must also implement two new trial contact processes. It is therefore important that these trials are administratively manageable so that we do not incur disproportionate costs in connection with the implementation, including IT costs for introducing some temporary trials.

The entire legislative process is of course something we at Min A-kasse will follow closely in the coming period, just as we also continuously contribute with our input via Danske A-kasser (DAK).
