Report activities

Every month, you must submit an activity report (aktivitetsrapport) to us. In the report, present the jobs you have applied for as well as other things you have done to come closer to getting a job. It is important to submit your report on time so that you do not risk your compensation being affected.

Who submits a report?

If you are unemployed and registered with us, you must report what activities you have done and what jobs you have applied for. Keep in mind that if you are an intern or doing job training, for example, you also need to submit activity report.

What to report

Examples of what your activity report should include:

  • all jobs you have applied for, for example:
    • jobs from job listings
    • spontaneous applications submitted, for example if you have given your CV to an employer
    • jobs that the Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) told you about, or to which we have urged you to apply
  • if you have worked
  • hiring meetings you have attended
  • job interviews you have attended
  • studies you have participated in.

It is important that you save documents for at least three months that can demonstrate that you have applied for the jobs reported in your activity report. Sometimes we conduct checks.

If you have been sick, do not include that in your activity report.

If you do not have e-identification, you can get it quickly.

How to get e-identification (elegitimation.se)

If you are not able to get e-identification, you can fill in the Activity Report form on a computer, print it, and post it to us. The address is on the form.

Remember to send the form well in advance so that it reaches us by the 14th of the month. You may also drop off the form at a service office. You may not send the form via email.

Forms

If you do not have access to a computer or mobile phone, you can visit a service centre (servicekontor) at the National Government Service Centre (Statens servicecenter) and use a computer.

When should you submit the report?

  • Submit your activity report between the 1st and 14th of each month. Report the activities you did the month before. Example: Between 1 – 14 February, submit your activity report of activities carried out in the month of January.
  • If you are sending in your report via postal mail, you must do so well before the 14th of each month.

Arbetsförmedlingen reviews all submitted activity reports. The first step of the review is done automatically. If your report lists few submitted job applications or identical jobs as before, or if you have written something in the free text box, then your report will be sorted out for manual review by an administrator.

Reports are also randomly selected for manual review.

On My pages (Mina sidor), you can see when your activity report has been reviewed.

What happens if you are not actively applying for jobs or if you do not submit your report on time?

If you do not submit your activity report on time or if you neglect your job search in some other way, you may receive a warning or have your compensation suspended for one or more days.
