What is the difference between an unemployment fund and a trade union?

When you are a member of an unemployment insurance fund, you can receive unemployment benefits if you are out of work one day. A trade union looks after your interests in the workplace, but they cannot pay out unemployment benefits.

If you want to protect yourself financially if you become unemployed, it is therefore important that you join Min A-kasse.

Who can become a member of Min A-kasse?

Min A-kasse is for everyone regardless of job and education. We help students, recent graduates, employees, self-employed and early retirees.

What is an unemployment fund?

A-kasse stands for "unemployment fund" and is a private association established for the purpose of insuring members against unemployment. The unemployment funds are state-recognized and are authorized by law to administer the unemployment benefit rules that are adopted by the Danish parliament. An unemployment insurance fund pays out unemployment benefits, early retirement and holiday pay on behalf of the state. 

The unemployment insurance fund is your financial insurance if you find yourself without a job one day.
