Were you an employee before you became unemployed? If so, your previous employer must complete an employer's certificate, so that the unemployment insurance fund can perform its calculations.

If you are unemployed, you can apply to take your Swedish unemployment benefit with you to look for work in another country in the EU, EEA or Switzerland. In this case, you need Certificate U2 from the IAF (Swedish Unemployment Insurance Board).

Every month, you are required to submit an activity report where you make a report for the prior month’s activities. You must submit your activity report no earlier than the 1st and no later than the 14th of each month. The easiest way to report your activities is on our website. To be able to do this, you will need to log in with an e-identification (such as a mobile bank ID for example).

If you do not have an e-ID, you can download the Activity Report form and print it out.

Complete the form and send it to us by post. The address is on the form. Remember to send the form in good time so that it reaches us no later than on the 14th. You can also hand in the form at your nearest office. You may not send the form by email.
