hello To be able yo access the benefits from akademikernas-a-kassa as a PhD student do I also need to be part of the PhD student Union? I am already a member of akademikernas-a-kassa and i pay a monthly installment of 110 sek but someone informed that unless I am part of the Student union i will not be able to access any benefits. Please confirm .
When you are a member with us while working you have access to the unemploymentinsurance (a-kassa) if you become unemployed after you have defended your thesis.
A-kassan covers wages upp to 25 025 SEK. If your salary is higher you can join a union to get a complimentary insurance with them. There are also other reasons to join a union. Read more about the reasons to join a union here
Igf you want to check your memebership you can try to log in in MItt medlemskap - ig you can log in you are a memeber.
