[- i form av garantiersdttningJ
Activity compensation in the form of guarantee benefit provides you with basic
financial protection, regardless of your previous income from work. The amount of
. benefit depends on your age and how long you have lived in Sweden.
Who is eligible for guarantee benefit?
tVem kan fd garantiersdttningil
If you have not had any income, you can receive activity compensation in the form of guarantee
benefit. You can also receive guarantee benefit if you have low income-related activity
compensation. In this case, the guarantee benefit will be as large as the difference between your
income-related compensation and your guarantee level fgarantinivd ].
To put it simply, you are entitled to guarantee benefit if:
. You lived in Sweden at the time of the claim. The claim is when you comply with the
conditions for entitlement to activity compensation.
. You have at least three years' insurance period in Sweden. Your insurance period is
calculated on the basis of how long you have lived in Sweden. See the section The guarantee
level depends on your insurance period.
How much guarantee benefit will you receive?
[Hur stor blir din garantiersilttning?J
F<irsdkringskassan [The Swedish Socia] Insurance Agency] calculates your guarantee benefit on the
basis of your guarantee level. The size of the guarantee level depends on how long you have lived in
Sweden.
You can receive full, three-quarter, half or a quarter activity compensation. If you have a foreign
disability pension [invaliditetspensionJor other foreign disability benefits, these may reduce your
guarantee benefit.

The guarantee level depends on your insurance period
[Garantinivfln beror pd din fiirsiikringstidl
If you have lived in Sweden for the whole of your life, you will receive compensation at the highest
level. If you have not always lived in Sweden, the compensation can be reduced. This depends on
how long an insurance period you have. If you have an insurance period of less than 40 years, your
compensation will be reduced by 1/40 for every missing year. However, this does not mean that you

insurance period of 40 years without having lived in Sweden for 40 years.
What is insurance Period?
Nad dr fdrsdkringstidfi
yog a.e credited with insurance period for the time that you have lived in Sweden. This is referred
to as actual insurance period tfaktisk fcirsdkringstid].However, you may also count insurance period
for the time you are expected to live in Sweden. This is called future insurance period fframtida
fcirsiikringstidt Activity compensation in the form of guarantee benefit is based on both actual and
future insurance periods.
you receive actual insurance period for the period that you have lived in Sweden from and including
the year you attained the age of 16 until and including the year before the claim. You receive future
insurance period for the time from and including the year when the claim was made until and
including th" y""t that you attain the age of 6lr. However, your future insurance period also depends
on how long yoo have lived in Sweden. In order for you to be credited with future insurance period
for all yuuti but*"en the claim and the year you attain the age of 64, you must have been resident in
Sweden for at least 80 per cent av of time from and including the year you attained the age of 16
until and including the year before the claim.
Special rules apply to refugees and others in need of protection who have beea granted a residence
permit, which enable them to count the time they have lived in their previous home country as
actual insurance period.
If the claim occurred before you attained the age of 18, the insurance period is calculated according
to special rules. You do not need to have been insured at the time of the claim and you can count the
whole time from and including the year that you attained the age of 16 until and including the year
you attain the age of 64 as insurance period. However, you may not count time that you did not live
in Sweden as insurance Period.
If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU/EEA, you must have been resident in Sweden for at
least five years for your insurance period to be calculated according to these rules.
Example 1:
Sergej is 28 years old at the time of the claim and has been living in Sweden for 10 years- Sergei will be able to
(inclusive) as future
.onirt'u11 3Z years from the year of the claim and to the year he attai:rs the age of 64
insurance p"tiod. thi. is because he has been living in Sweden for at least 80 per cent of the period from and
il6ysrting the age of 1O until and including the year before the claim (0.80 x 12 years = 9.6 years)' Sergei has a
total of 47 years insurance period in Sweden $7 + 1o = 47.
Example2
Claes receives full activity compensation in 2009 when he is 2l years old. The date of the claim is also 2009.
Claes has never had any i:rcome from work and is therefore not eotitled to any income-related compensation.
However, he is entitled to guarantee benefit.
Claes has lived in Sweden since he attained the age of 16. Claes's future iasurance period is calculated
from
2009, when the claim occurred, until and including the year that he attatrs the age of 64. Claes is therefore
entitled to full guarantee benefit, since the threshold for obtaining full guarantee benefit is a 40-year insurance
period.
Since Claes is 21 years old, he receives 2.15 times the price base amount in guarantee benefit- The
price base
amount for 2009 is SEK 42 800- Claes's benefit is therefore calculated as follows: 2.15 x SEK 42 800 = SEK 92 020'
Claes's anrrual guarantee benefit will be SEK 92 020.
Exampleg
Dareka receives full activity compensation in 2009 when she is 27 years old. Dareka has lived in Sweden since
she attained the age of fO and is therefore entitled to full insurance period for
guarantee benefit- Since Dareka
is 27 years old she receives 2.30 times the price base amount il guarantee level. The
price base amount for 2009
is SEK 42 800. Dareka's guarantee level is therefore calculated as follows: 2.30 x SEK 42 8O0 = SEK 98 440.
(Read more about the time frame in the fact
Dareka has had income from work during her time frame tramtidl-
sheet Sickness compensation.) F<irsiikringskassal calculates her income-related activity compensation at SEK
63 0oO per year.

4. This meaas that Dareka will also receive guarantee benefit to reach the guarantee level of SEK 94 300 per year.
Darekas's compensation will be as follows:
Income-related compensation per year SEK 63 000
Guarantee benefit per year + SEK 31 300
Total activity compensation per year = SEK 94 300
The SEK 31 3o0 wbich Dareka receives in guarantee benefit supplements her income-related compensation to
bring her up to her guarantee level.

conditions for being entitled to activity compensation.
. You have had a pensionable income - or a pensionable amount of activity compensation * at
least one year during the "time frame" [ramtidJ If you have a pensionable income, you will
receive an annual statement every year (the orange envelope).
How much will compensation be?
tHur stor blir ersdttningenil
Full income-related activity compensation will give you 64 per cent of your assumed income
fantagandeinkomsfl the income that F6rsiikringskassan calculates that you probably would have
had if you had continued to work. You can have full, three-quarter, half or a quarter activity
compensation. The amount you receive depends on how much your work capacity is reduced and
your ability to earn a living through work.
Activity compensation may be reduced if you receive a for6ign disability pension
finvaliditetspensionJ or other foreign disability benefits at the same time.

16. This is how your compensation is calculated
tS6 riiknas din ersdttning utJ
Assumed income - onlythe best years count
tAntagandeinkomst - det dr de bdsta iren som rdknasJ
When we calculate your compensation, we start by calculating your assumed income. Assumed
income may be calculated according to the main rule or the alternative rule. We always calculate it
in both ways and then use the method of calculation that is most favourable for you.
Assumed income according to the main rule
tA ntag a nd ei n ko mst en I igt h uvud regel n J
The main rule means that we calculate the average of your three best annual incomes during a
period of eight years immediately before the claim. If, for example, we establish the time of the
claim to 2O09, the eight-year period consists of the years 2OOO-2OO7.
Assumed income according tothe alternative rule
fAnta g a nd e i n ko mst e n I i gt a lte rn ati vreg el n J
The alternative rule means that we calculate the average of your two best annual incomes during
the three years before the year of the claim.
We can also use the sickness benefit qualifying annual income [sjukpenninggrandande inkomstJ
which you had at the time of the claim. We do this if the sickness benefit qualifying annual income is
greater. In order for you to have your activity compensation calculated according to your sickness
benefit qualifying annual income, you must have had a sickness benefit qualifying income the year
before the claim as well.
Which income is used in the calculation?
[Vilken inkomst anvflnds vid berfikningen?J
When calculating the assumed income, we use your gross annual income as a basis which we then
recalculate according to the current price level. The gross annual income is your pensionable income,
plus the pension contributions that the Swedish Tax Agency fskatteverkeflhas deducted. The
pensionable income is the income you receive a statement on in the orange envelope every year. You
obtain your gross annual income by dividing the pensionable income by 0.93. However, there is a
ceiling to the income you can count. If you have income above 318 000 (7.5 price base amountsl
fprisbasbeloppl, it will not be counted.
Example
Siri is 26 years old when she receives full activity compensation for 2009. The time of the claim is also 2009.
Siri's income from work (recalculated to the current price level) in the eight year before the claim was:
Year lncorne
2007 sEK r85 000
2006 SEK 198 OOO
2005 sEK 186 200
' The price base amount is based on the cost of livirg. In 2010, the price base amount is SEK 42 400.

2003 sEK 205 200
2042 sEK',t86000
200.1 sEK 75 000
2000 sEK90000
Siri's three best gross annual incomes were in 2006 (SEK 198 000), in 2004 (SEK 228 000), and in 2003 (SEK 205
200).
The average income of these three years will be Siri's assumed income. This is how assumed income is
calcr:lated:
228 000 + 205 200 + 198 000
= 631 200 I 3 -- 2LO 40O
Siri's assumed income is thus SEK 210 400. The annual income-related compensation is 64 per cent of the
assumed income and is calculated as follows:
2r0 400 x 0.64 = 134 656
Siri's annual income-related compensation will be SEK 134 656.

ageing.
The disability must be substantial and cause considerable difficulty in your daily life.
There is no lower age limit for obtaining attendance allowance. You can receive attendance allowance after
the age of65 provided that you have been granted it before that age.
You cannot obtain attendance allowance if you live in group housing or are cared for in an institution. If
there are special reasons, you can, however, receive attendance allowance when you are cared for at a
hospital for a shorter period or attend childcare, school or another daily activity.

Special reasons may, for example, be that you need a specially trained attendant who demands a higher
payment than the standard amount.

Nad in nebiir pensonlrg assistans?l
Personal assistance means personally designed assistance provided in different situations by a limited
number of people. Personal assistance for basic needs means assistance in washing and dressing, eating,

27. communicating with others and moving about, or other assistance that requires detailed knowledge of your
disability.
You may be eligible to personal assistance for other needs
[Du kan ha rdtt till personlig assista ns even fiSr andra
behovl
lf you need assistance with basic needs for an average of more tlvn2D hours a week, you may also be
eligible for personal assistance for other help in your daily life, for example, cooking, shopping, taking part
in leisure activities or working.

[Du bestdmmer sielv]
You decide how the assistance is to be arranged. You can
r be an employer and employ one or more assistants
. form an association or a co-operative with other people with disabilities, which ernploys several

. use acompany oran organisation
There is nothing to prevent you from employing an assistant at the same time as you receive assistance

member of your household shall then be employed by the municipality or another assistance provider.
Application and decision
[Ansiikan och beslut]

forms on 020-524 524. ContactFdrsiikringskassan if you need assistance with your application.

28. Payment and reporting
[Utbetal n i n g och redovisn ing]
If you want the attendance allowance to be paid to the assistance provider, the latter musg unless it is a
municipality, have a corporate tax certificate [F-skattsedelJ andbe registered as an employer by the Tax
Agency [Skaneverket].
Even when attendance allowance is paid to you, it is preferable if the person you purchase assistance from
has a corporate tax certificate, since you must otherwise deduct tax. This is the case if you purchase
assistance from a legal entity, i.e. a limited company, a partnership, an economic association or a not-for-
profit association.
Attendance allowance is paid around the 2fth every month. If you have purchased personal assistance, you
must report the number of hours of assistance you have received and certify that the attendance allowance
has been used to purchase assistance. This reporting is made on a special form on the last day of the month
in each reporting period. Fdrsiikringskassan will decide the reporting period that applies for you. The
longest reporting period is six months. If the whole of the allowance has not been used for purchasing
assistance, you must repay the part that you have not used.
Ifyou purchase your assistance from a sole trader (a natural person), you must certify that he or she has a
corporate tax certificate. Ifthe person does not have a corporate tax certificate, you must pay employer's
social security contribution and deduct tax as ifyou were the assistant's employer.
Ifyou have ernployed assistants yourselfor been granted a higher hourly amount than the standard, you
must report the number ofhours ofassistance you have received and all costs you have had for the
assistance. After every reporting period, Fdrsiikringskassan will make a final settlement and compare the
allowance you have received with the actual costs. If the allowance is higher than your costs, you must
repay the difference.
Notify changes!
[Anmdl fiirdndringarl
Attendance allowance is reconsidered every other year until you attain the age of 65. However, if your
condition has changed significantly, the allowance shall be reconsidered earlier. It is therefore important
that you notift all changes that may affect your entitlement to attendance allowance. If you have received
too much money, you may be liable to reimburse.
