Losing your job and income involuntarily can seriously affect your life. With IDA Supplemental Unemployment Insurance, you can receive up to 90% of your current salary. This insurance gives you the financial security to move forward in your career.

Supplemental Unemployment Insurance - covers up to 90% of your salary

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 gives you financial security when regular unemployment benefits fall short. You can receive up to DKK 60,000 or 90% of your salary, providing essential support during tough times.

Avoid life-changing disruptions

A sudden drop in income can force significant life changes, like selling your car or even your home. Supplemental unemployment insurance helps you stay financially stable during uncertain times and avoid these disruptions.

Time to find the right job

With supplemental unemployment insurance, you can concentrate on finding the right job without worrying about finances. Our comprehensive outplacement programme supports you every step of the way.

Extra advantages of supplemental unemployment insurance

Supplemental unemployment insurance offers additional benefits, providing enhanced financial security during periods of unemployment.

  • Receive a tailored career plan through our outplacement programme, guiding you toward new professional opportunities.
  • Ensure continued financial stability with the potential to receive up to 12 consecutive payments during unemployment.
  • Enjoy extended protection with supplemental unemployment insurance for up to 36 months.

High living expenses can prompt a swift return to the job market without this coverage, potentially leading to undesirable choices due to financial constraints. Supplemental unemployment insurance helps you avoid such situations.
