Social Insurance Administration: Medical- and rehabilitation allowance from September 1st 2025

How do I apply for sickness and rehabilitation benefits when I am looking for a job after my rehabilitation is complete?

Sickness and rehabilitation benefits may be paid for up to three months after rehabilitation is complete if you are registered as a jobseeker with the Directorate of Labour or another service provider.

If you are applying for sickness and rehabilitation benefits due to unemployment, you must fill out an application, and a confirmation or rehabilitation plan from a professional must also be submitted.
