Pregnancy benefit (graviditetspenning)
Compensation if you are pregnant and can’t work because your job is physically demanding or risky.
Quick check: does this apply to you?
Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.
- You are pregnant
- Your job is physically demanding or involves risks
- Your employer can’t give you other tasks
What affects the decision
- How far along you are
- What job you have and whether it can be adapted
- Your income
What to do
- Read the rules and current amounts at Försäkringskassan.
- Talk to your employer about adapting your work, and ask your midwife for a certificate.
- Apply in Försäkringskassan’s e-service. You log in with e-identification at the authority, never at Rättkoll.
- You get a decision. If your situation changes, you usually need to report it.
Give correct information. From 1 July 2026, Försäkringskassan charges a sanction fee if you were overpaid because you gave incorrect information or did not report a change: 25 percent of the incorrect amount, at least 2,368 SEK.
