Health insurance for members of SULF
Health insurance from Folksam is included in the SULF membership. The insurance is free of charge for all working members of SULF, and you do not need to do anything to add the cover.
Health insurance gives you greater security, as it provides compensation for lost income in the event of long-term sick leave by supplementing the compensation you receive from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan).
The insurance:
- covers all working SULF members,
- is payable if your capacity for work is reduced by 25-100 per cent,
- provides compensation you are unable to work for one of the following reasons:
- preventive care,
- care of a close relative
- care of a seriously ill child.
