Vacant job

Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) makes 21 million decisions that impact people's lives and society as a whole. We pay out approximately 260 billion SEK annually.

Therefore, we delve into every case, adhere to laws and regulations, inform and guide, care, and show consideration. This is a job for you who want to take responsibility. Welcome to Försäkringskassan.

Recovery of overpayments (repayment) is a prioritized focus area for Försäkringskassan, and your work will be a vital part of our mission where you will work in our new department. We are strengthening our ability to combat benefit fraud through the Benefit Fraud Department, where we consolidate Försäkringskassan's competence, knowledge, and capacity in this area. The department will have a unified responsibility for the cross-agency work on preventing and countering benefit fraud, from the operational level to the strategic level. This means the department will play a crucial role in Försäkringskassan's work against benefit fraud and contribute to development within the area of responsibility, both within the agency and externally.
