BEING A STUDENT MEMBER OF FTFa
Your unemployment insurance fund is invaluable for you as a student.
While you are a student, on occasion you may be short of funds. Fortunately, your membership of an unemployment insurance fund is free when you are a student. And, you get all the advantages.
WHEN CAN YOU BECOME A FREE MEMBER?
You can become a free member of FTFa if your education is set to last at least 18 months.
However, there is an upper limit to your income in order for you to hold free membership:
- If your studies qualify for the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme (SU) your annual income cannot exceed the maximal level of unemployment insurance benefits
- f you are a paid intern you cannot work next to your internship
- If your studies are a combination of SU and paid internship, you have to contact FTFa to hear more about your options.
- If you are no longer eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, you can hold a free membership while you are unemployed. However, you must be registered at jobnet.dk and you cannot receive public benefits (social security or rehabilitation benefits).
