Interviews you must attend when you receive unemployment benefits

Especially at the beginning of your unemployment, you will need to attend several interviews with the unemployment fund. As a rule, you must attend your first interview with us within 2 weeks of becoming unemployed. How you are called for interviews can vary. Sometimes we call you for a fixed interview time, other times you will be asked to book an appointment yourself. It is important that you book the interviews correctly. 

You are obliged to attend the interviews and offers that the unemployment fund, job center or other party has invited you to. Read more about the consequences if you fail to attend an interview.

Timeline of conversations in the first six months of your unemployment
Have you been unemployed before? Then you may have already attended the interviews that must be held within the first 6 months. After that, you will only need to interview with job center as needed.

Of course, you are always welcome to contact us to book a separate conversation if you need help or sparring in your job search.

How to book an interview with the unemployment fund

Once you have registered as unemployed, you will receive a letter stating that you need to book an interview with the unemployment insurance fund within a certain period of time. It is your responsibility to book an appointment for your first interview.

If you don't book or attend the interview before the deadline, it will affect your right to unemployment benefits. You will automatically be deregistered from the job center if you have not booked an interview by the deadline. During the days you are deregistered, you cannot receive unemployment benefits. You can receive unemployment benefits again from the day you register as unemployed at the job center again. 

The self-booking rules only apply to certain calls. Please call us on +45 7012 3782 if you are unsure about anything.

Interviews at Min A-kasse

The first interview with the unemployment fund

You will be notified to book an appointment for your first interview with Min A-kasse no later than two weeks after you have registered as unemployed. At the interview, we will guide you in your job search, review and approve your CV, and answer any questions you may have. 

The interview is based on your specific situation. Together we draw up 'Job search requirements', which is part of My Plan. 'Job search requirements' is an agreement that forms the framework for your job search and is included in the availability assessment. We agree on the strategy that best supports your chances of getting a job and subsequently evaluate it at your other interviews in the unemployment fund and in connection with the availability assessment.

2nd and 3rd interview at the unemployment fund

After your first interview with the unemployment fund, you will be invited to two further interviews within the first 3 months. The interviews are based on your situation, your job search and any activities agreed with us. We look again at Job Search Requirements and My Plan. 

Availability interview

To be entitled to unemployment benefits, you must be available for work.

If we can see that you need inspiration or targeting in your job search, or if your job search is inadequate, we can invite you to an availability interview. We will call you in for an availability interview when we assess that there is a need for it. It is important that you attend these interviews, otherwise you risk losing your right to unemployment benefits.

Interviews in your local job center

After 3 months, the interviews are transferred from the unemployment fund to the job center

When you have been unemployed for 3 months, the interviews will transfer from the unemployment fund to the job center. Here you will have three more interviews within the next 3 months. These interviews are based on your job search, your situation and agreements you have made with us and/or the job center.

For the first interview at the job center, one of our job consultants can participate in the interview. It's up to you if you want us to attend your first interview at the job center.

After 6 months, the interviews are scheduled with the job center as needed.
