To apply for unemployment benefit you should contact your unemployment insurance fund. If you are not a member of any unemployment fund, you should contact either a fund within your field of activity or profession, or The Alfa Unemployment Insurance Fund.

There’s also a federation called the Swedish federation of unemployment insurance funds (Sveriges a-kassor) that is serving the interest of, and provide services to, Sweden’s unemployment insurance funds. As an example this includes developing their IT systems and supporting them in interpreting the laws of the unemployment insurance.
