Membership

Why should you become a member of an a-kasse? For the same reason you wear a seatbelt when driving – because sometimes things go wrong. And when they do, we in a-kassen A&Til are here to secure income and support your next steps.

The Danish a-kasse system is a unique model that combines individual freedom with strong social security. Unlike many other countries, Denmark allows you to choose your own a-kasse (unemployment fund), which gives you access to unemployment benefits if you lose your job. What makes the Danish system special is its flexibility: you can switch jobs, industries, or even become self-employed and still stay covered. The system is built on trust, mobility, and active support. At a-kassen A&Til, we guide you through the rules and help you make the most of this system—so you're never alone during unemployment.

As a member of a-kassen A&Til, you get financial security if you become unemployed. With a membership, you gain the right to unemployment benefits and access to personal guidance if you get laid off, want to change your job, or are planning your next career move. A-kassen is here to help you when everyday life takes a turn or when your work life doesn’t go as planned.

A membership in a-the A&Til 'a-kasse' gives you more than just access to unemployment benefits. You get a strong foundation that helps you move forward quickly when you're between jobs. Here's what you get with us:

• Personal guidance on job changes, applications, and your career
• Help with your CV and cover letters
• Access to online job tools around the clock through Jobmakker
• Support during job interviews and transitions

Remember, a-kassen is not the same as a trade union. We don’t help with wages or working conditions – that’s the union’s job. With us in the a-kasse A&Til, we focus on your financial security and on helping you move forward quickly if you become unemployed.

A membership in the A&Til 'a-kasse' is not just about money. It’s also about having someone to support you when you need it most. Whether you come from education, industry, healthcare, or IT – we help you navigate the next step in your working life.

We always recommend that you join an a-kasse as soon as you start your first job, are studying, or have just graduated. Don’t wait until you're unemployed. If you wait too long, you risk not being entitled to unemployment benefits in the case of unemployment.

To receive unemployment benefits, you must have been a member of the a-kasse for at least one year. That’s why it’s smart to become a member while you’re still working or studying. Think of it as securing your future – just in case.

A flexible membership for all stages of your career

Whether you’re employed, self-employed, a recent graduate, or still studying, you can become a member of the a-kasse A&Til. We are open to everyone – we’re not tied to one profession. We support you when you’re unemployed, and we guide you when you want to try something new.

With us in the a-kasse A&Til, your membership is all about your future. You don’t need to stand alone when things don’t go as planned. Membership gives you access to unemployment benefits, guidance, and a supportive community.

Security in all life situations

Are you entering the job market for the first time? Do you have years of experience? Are you studying, freelancing, or running your own business? No matter your background, you can become a member of a-kassen A&Til.

We are not limited by industry or profession. We focus on helping you forward – both financially and personally. Membership in a-kassen means you’ll have support during tough times and motivation to move forward when you’re ready.

Losing your job can feel overwhelming. But if you already have a membership in a-kassen A&Til, you don’t have to face it alone. We give you financial support through unemployment benefits, and we help you move on with confidence.

From the very first day you’re unemployed, your membership in a-kassen A&Til makes a difference. You can receive unemployment benefits immediately – as long as you’ve had a membership for at least one year and meet the other requirements.

That means you don’t have to spend your savings or worry about paying rent. You can focus on what matters most: finding the next step in your work life.

If you wait to join a-kassen until after you’ve lost your job, you’ll need to wait up to 12 months before you’re eligible for unemployment benefits. That’s why it’s so important to have your membership in place early. Being proactive means you can get unemployment benefits right when you need them – not a year later.
We in a-kassen A&Til want to help you before you need us – not just after.

To receive unemployment benefits, you must have been part of an unemployment fund for at least one year before becoming unemployed. That’s why it’s important to join while you’re still employed or studying. Don’t wait until you’re out of work.
