Increased "fribeløb" in 2022, for students working with covid-19 emergency preparedness.
The Danish Parliament has agreed about increasing “fribeløb” (the amount of money students are allowed to earn besides SU) in 2022, for students working with covid-19 emergency preparedness.
- Students who earn extra money, due to being part of critical jobs regarding covid-19 emergency preparedness are able to apply for an increase of their “fribeløb” in 2022, just as it has been possible in 2020 and 2021.
A continuation of the agreement requires an amendment to the SU Act, which will be submitted during 2022. Students will have to apply for the increased “fribeløb” by 31 December 2023.
