Social Insurance Agency

The Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) is the government authority responsible for administering various social insurance benefits in Sweden, including parental benefits (föräldrapenning), temporary parental benefits for sick children (VAB), and pregnancy benefits. While not directly enforcing employer compliance with the Parental Leave Act, Försäkringskassan plays a crucial role in the overall parental leave system by ensuring that eligible parents receive the financial support they are entitled to during their leave periods.
