CA Income Protection
CA Income Protection offers a supplement to your unemployment benefits in case you lose your job. You decide on the degree of financial security that you wish to have.
Predicting what will happen in your work life can be difficult, but taking out income protection with CA gives you a supplement to your benefits. The size of the supplement, and when you wish to receive the first payment, is up to you.
You can choose benefits of between 2,000 DKK and 40,000 DKK for up to 12 months, and choose income protection with or without a 30-day waiting period.
After the waiting period, if applicable, you will receive the benefits for every 30 days of unemployment.
Income protection that covers up to 90% of your salary
CA Income Protection is paid on top of unemployment benefits, which currently average DKK 19,728 per month. The extent of coverage from income protection is up to you.
With CA Income Protection, you will be covered for up to 90% of your salary, or no more than 40,000 DKK per month, plus your unemployment benefits. No labour market contribution (AMB) applies to the payments. CA Income Protection covers a total of 36 months: up to 12 months per unemployment period, with temporary work periods of 12 months permitted.

Take note of the initial waiting period for income protection
Before you can claim benefits from CA Income Protection, there will be an initial waiting period of 6 months from the day of registration. This means that you will have no coverage if you are dismissed in the first 6 months after registration. When the waiting period has expired, you can claim income protection if you become unemployed.
If you have taken out income protection with another provider, your seniority will be transferred when you join CA Income Protection, provided that you satisfy the requirements for taking out the insurance.
