Can I get a-kassa and study at the same time?
Hej!
I have been a member for more than 12 months and have been working for more than 5 years. If I get unemployed and get a-kassa and unemployment benefits am I allowed to study at the university to get higher chances to find a new job?
what are the rules regarding studying and getting a-kassa benefits?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your question.
The basic rule when you receive a-kassa is that you are not allowed to study. But no rule without exeption!

- The pace of the studies can be maximum 50 percent of full-time studies
- You have not left your previous employment because of the studies
- The studies must not prevent you from seeking or accepting a new employment
