In other cases, the expenses for the benefits are fully covered by the public authorities. This applies for maternity pay ("barselsdagpenge") is paid by the local authorities ("kommune") of the employee and in case of supplementary benefit ("supplerende dagpenge"), the unemployment fund ("arbejdsløshedskasse") will pay.
