Review of the regulation on special measures for persons with functional disability that impairs work capacity
Review of the rules on special support measures for people with disabilities
What's at stake: The decision affects how broad an upcoming review of support for people with disabilities will be, and whether employers' financial incentives to hire with wage subsidies - which otherwise risk being eroded over time - are also included.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether an upcoming review of the regulation on special support measures for people with disabilities affecting work capacity should explicitly also cover the cap level for wage subsidies, or whether the review should be limited to ensuring the support's terms are fit for purpose without including the cap level.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee backs a review of the regulation on special support measures for people with disabilities affecting work capacity, to ensure the support's terms are fit for purpose and serve the aim of the labor-market program, and issues this as an instruction to the government. However, the committee does not take a position on the wage-subsidy cap level.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 5 (S, V, C, MP)
The reservation (S, V, C and MP) welcomes that a review of the regulation is carried out, but argues that the committee leaves out an essential part of the audit's recommendation by not including the wage-subsidy cap level, which otherwise risks being eroded over time. The reservation wants the review to explicitly also cover the cap level and indexing of the wage subsidies.

Riksdag decision: The Riksdag submits a formal notification—an instruction—to the government to review the regulation on special measures for persons with functional disability that impairs work capacity. Examples of special measures are wage subsidies, contributions toward workplace aids, and interpreter services for persons with visual or hearing impairment. The reason for the review is to ensure that the conditions for the measures contribute to fulfilling the purpose of the labor market policy program.
The formal notification is based on proposals in motions in response to the government's letter regarding the National Audit Office's audit report on the Public Employment Agency's support to persons with functional disability. The National Audit Office concludes in the report that there are deficiencies in how effectively the Public Employment Agency works with the target group. Furthermore, the National Audit Office assesses that the government's direction has not been sufficiently effective.
The Labor Market Committee considers the National Audit Office's audit to be an important contribution to the work of providing appropriate measures to persons with functional disability that affects work capacity. The committee also notes that the government has already taken several measures to improve support and that additional measures may be needed.
The Riksdag rejected the other proposals in the motions and filed the letter with the records.

The counter-proposal wants the Swedish Public Employment Service to halve processing times for support to people with disabilities. (S, V, C, MP) — Reservation 5
