Activity support and development allowance
When you are looking for work and taking part in one of our programmes, you can receive benefit from Försäkringskassan for that period. The benefit you receive is called activity support or development allowance.
How do I receive benefit?
Once you have been enrolled in one of our programmes you apply for benefit from Försäkringskassan (The Swedish Social Insurance Agency). You apply for a month at a time in arrears. The easiest way is to apply on Försäkringskassan’s website. Here you can also read more about how to apply and when the money will be paid out to you.

What is required to receive benefit?
When you take part in a programme, it is important that you follow the plan you have with us. This means for example that you need to take part in the activities we have agreed on. You also need to be active and apply for jobs if this is included in your plan.
You need to report your activities every month and notify us if you fall sick.
How much money do I receive?
When you take part in a programme, you receive a fixed amount per day for a maximum of five days a week. You receive benefit for every day you take part in your programme.
Your benefit per day depends among other things on how old you are and whether you satisfy the requirements for unemployment benefit or not. You can read about the size of the benefit on Försäkringskassan’s website.
