Understanding Swedish social insurance webinar

Time: 13:00 - 14:30

Social Insurance in Sweden is unlike many other countries in the world as it covers basically everyone who works and lives in Sweden. The insurance is an essential part of the public welfare system that protects the needs of the individual, family and companies.

International Citizen Hub Lund will host a webinar with guest speaker Henrik Malmquist, a representative from Försäkringskassan (Sweden's Social Insurance Agency), to go through the basics and answer your questions. Some of the questions that will be addressed include:

• Do I need to register at Försäkringskassan?
• What happens if I’m sick and can’t work for a couple of weeks?
• Am I insured if I travel to another country?
• What benefits can my family receive?
