Försäkringskassan, Sweden’s Social Insurance Agency, acts as a safety net for citizens throughout their lives. Their primary function is to administer and distribute social security benefits according to Swedish law. Here are some of the most common situations where Försäkringskassan steps in to help:

Supporting families: They provide financial assistance through child benefits and housing allowances, making it easier to raise children.
Ensuring sick leave security: If you’re unable to work due to illness, Försäkringskassan provides income replacement through sick leave benefits.
Facilitating parental leave: Taking time off to care for a newborn or young child is financially supported by parental leave benefits managed by Försäkringskassan.
