A family in Malmo asked to refund five years of child benefit when the Social Insurance Agency discovered that the mother of the family working in Denmark. If it was instead the father who was employed in Denmark, the family had been allowed to keep the child allowance, reports Sydsvenskan. The reason is that the Social Insurance Agency routinely appointed mother to the recipient of the child allowance, a routine that after a change in the law has now changed. And working in Denmark are not entitled to Swedish child benefit, even if the children are born in and live in Sweden, and even if the parent who is not the recipient of the child allowance work and pay taxes in Sweden.
When this went up the flight attendant Mary Winkler and her husband wrote of the child allowance on her husband. But insurance agency did not agree to do this retroactively for more than two years back in time. Total took the pair first of SEK 100 000, but the debt was written later, down to 34,500 crowns.
