Introduction benefit
Introduction benefit is a benefit you can receive from Försäkringskassan when you take part in the introduction programme. You may also be entitled to other benefits.

What do I need to do to keep my introduction benefit?
To not risk losing your compensation, it is important that you look for work and accept the opportunities you are given so that you do not prolong your unemployment. For example, this means that you need to adhere to the plan you have with us and participate in meetings and other activities you have agreed with us. If you receive support from our suppliers, you also need to adhere to the plan you have with them.
You must actively be seeking a job, unless stated otherwise in your action plan. You must also submit an activity report to us between the 1st and 14th of each month.
It is important that you are aware of all applicable conditions and how your compensation may be affected if you neglect your job-seeking or prolong your unemployment.
Conditions for your compensation in programmes
You need to inform us if you get ill or are looking after a sick child and cannot participate in your programme. If you need time off you must first get this approved by us.
