Child benefit when working in Sweden
Commuters where the family live in Denmark. Which country pays?
If the family lives in Denmark and one parent works in Sweden and the other works in Denmark, Denmark pays child benefit in the first instance. Please contact Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) at Øresunddirekt for more information. If the Swedish allowance exceeds the sum of the Danish allowance when the parents work in both Denmark and Sweden respectively, Sweden pays a supplement equal to the difference between the two amounts.
If one parent works in Sweden and the other does not work or if both parents work in Sweden, child benefit is paid by Sweden.
