Background information
The payment is paid out as part of the Danish economic relief package in response to the Coronavirus crisis. The payment is part of the political agreement on 15 June 2020 where the Danish Government and a large majority of the political parties in the Parliament agreed to phase out the compensation schemes and replace them with a recovery package that will boost the Danish economy after the Corona crisis.
Content of measure
The one-time payment of DKK 1,000 will automatically be paid out to those who have received either pensions benefits, labour market benefits such as unemployment benefit and educational benefits such as the State Educational Grant (SU).
To receive the one-time payment of DKK 1,000 the citizen must have received all or part of his/her benefit for the period of 1 April to 30 April 2020. It does not matter on which date the citizen received the benefit, as long as the benefit was payed out for the month of April.
The one-time payment cannot be used to recover public or private debt.
Use of measure
About 2.2 million citizens will automatically receive the one-time payment of DKK 1,000 during October 2020.
