Get financial security with supplemental unemployment insurance
With supplemental unemployment insurance from IDA Forsikring, you can bolster your financial security by supplementing your unemployment benefits with additional assistance.
Reasons to Consider Supplemental Unemployment Insurance
Supplemental unemployment insurance offers financial support, helping you manage your job search more effectively. Here are three key reasons to consider this coverage.
Receive 90% of your salary
Supplemental unemployment insurance provides financial security when regular unemployment benefits are insufficient. You can receive up to DKK 60,000 or 90% of your salary, offering critical support during difficult times.
Avoid life-changing disruptions
Facing a reduced income can lead to significant life changes, such as selling assets like your car or house. Supplemental unemployment insurance helps you maintain stability during uncertain times, preventing upheavals.
Time to find the right job
With supplemental unemployment insurance, you can focus on finding the right job without the added stress of financial concerns. Our inclusive outplacement programme is designed to support job seekers throughout their journey.

- Receive a tailored career plan through our outplacement programme, guiding you toward new professional opportunities.
- Ensure continued financial stability with the possibility of receiving up to 12 consecutive payments during unemployment.
