Why should I choose Min A-kasse?

We have more than 100 years of experience with the unemployment benefit system. In short: we know all the rules inside out.

Our advice is always tailored to your situation - whether you are an experienced officer or new to the Prison and Probation Service. We know your everyday life and the challenges that come with the job, and we're ready to help you, whether you're facing unemployment, looking to change direction or seeking new opportunities. Together with the Prison Service Union, we work to ensure that you get the best possible support and service.

Am I automatically a member of Min A-kasse if I am a member of Fængselsforbundet?

No, you are not. Min A-kasse is an independent unemployment insurance fund that cooperates with the Prison Union. If you are not already a member of Min A-kasse, but would like to become one, you can join here.

What is the difference between Min A-kasse and Fængselsforbundet?

Min A-kasse is an independent unemployment insurance fund that ensures that you can receive unemployment benefits if you are unemployed one day. Fængselsforbundet is your trade union that 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.

How do I switch unemployment insurance funds?

Switching unemployment insurance funds is easy and you can do it in two different ways. You choose which one.

  • Call us on +45 70 12 37 82 and we'll make sure you join and cancel your membership with your current unemployment insurance fund. 
  • Join Min A-kasse via our webshop. You will automatically be transferred from your current unemployment fund to Min A-kasse.

In both cases, you don't have to do anything yourself in connection with the transfer. We take care of all the practicalities, and you retain both your rights and your seniority when you switch unemployment funds.

What does it cost to be a member of Min A-kasse?

The price of a membership in Min A-kasse is among the lowest in the country. See the current price.

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.

How will My Unemployment Fund help me if I become unemployed?

If you become unemployed, we help you fill out the necessary paperwork and applications to receive unemployment benefits. We offer personal career advice, help with your job search, CV writing and access to a digital job universe where you can also find lots of help - for example, learn how to create a good strategy for your job search.

We're here to help you find your next job.

What is the difference between Min A-kasse and other unemployment funds?

Min A-kasse stands out with our high member satisfaction, low price and personalized advice. As a member with us, you can have your own personal advisor who gets to know you and your situation. This means you don't have to repeat your story every time you contact us.

We work closely with the Prison Service Union and have in-depth knowledge of the work in your profession, so we're always ready to support you - whether you're facing unemployment or exploring new opportunities.

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.
