PET provided the information as part of preparations for a parliamentary bill which aims to make it easier to cut off benefits to Danes fighting in Syria.<br \/>Last December the Ekstra Bladet newspaper reported that Danish municipalities and the country&#8217;s state unemployment fund were attempting to claim back a total of 672,000 kroner ($100,000) in wrongfully disbursed payments from 29 of the 36 Danes PET then estimated were had been collecting benefits.<\/p><p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/02XdUYfBDXY\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><p>We know, since 2015, that ISIS fighters in Syria have been receiving also <em>unemployment benefits<\/em> from Denmark, according to the agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR) via PET. Government data revealed that 32 Danish citizens have collected about 400,000 kroner ($57,000) in welfare from the government while fighting alongside the jihadist group in Syria.<br \/>Denmark\u2019s unemployment insurance systems is one of the world\u2019s most generous, as those on the dagpenge scheme can receive up to 801 kroner, around \u00a378, per day for up to two years.<\/p><p>Denmark, congratulation!
