Calendar year. <br />For people granted asylum within one year, the costs of introduction benefit are also included, but only for the first 12 months in Sweden, including the period in asylum reception. Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish public employment service) deals with the costs of benefits for people granted a residence permit, and it receives information from the Swedish Migration Agency about the average time it takes for people to be granted a residence permit. This information is used as input to estimate how many days of introduction benefit for former asylum seekers to include in ODA reporting. For quota refugees and people in need of protection, the costs of introduction benefit are included for a maximum of 12 months. (See also question 5.) Please note that Arbetsförmedlingen administers introduction benefit, but that this has nothing to do with job-seeking and integration into the economy of the receiving country.
