Child benefit when working in Sweden
If you work in Sweden and have children, the rules for child benefit depend on where you work, where the other parent works, and where your family lives. Here you can see which country pays child benefit and which authority you should contact.
If your family lives in Denmark
If your family lives in Denmark and one parent works in Sweden while the other works in Denmark, Denmark pays child benefit first.
If the Swedish child benefit is higher than the Danish benefit, Sweden pays a supplementary amount equal to the difference between the two benefits.
If one parent works in Sweden and the other parent does not work, or if both parents work in Sweden, child benefit is paid by Sweden.
