Abstract (Swedish)
Välfärdsbrottslighet är ett problem som har fått mer uppmärksamhet på
senare år. De felaktiga utbetalningar från välfärdssystemen uppskattas att
uppgå till 11-27 miljarder kronor per år vilket motsvarar 2-4 procent av
samtliga utbetalningar. En del av välfärdsbrottsligheten är bidragsbrotten.
I förevarande framställning utreds två inom området viktiga lagar,
Bidragsbrottslagen och Lagen om underrättelseskyldighet vid felaktiga
utbetalningar från välfärdssystemen. Framställningen fokuserar på de
förändringar i lagarna som trädde i kraft i januari 2020. En rättsanalytisk
metod används för att utreda, systematisera och analysera både den äldre
och nya versionen av båda dessa lagar.
Den som lämnar oriktiga uppgifter och på så sätt... (More)

metod används för att utreda, systematisera och analysera både den äldre
och nya versionen av båda dessa lagar.
Den som lämnar oriktiga uppgifter och på så sätt orsakar en fara för att ett
bidrag felaktigt betalas ut eller betalas ut med för högt belopp gör sig
skyldig till bidragsbrott. Detsamma gäller för den som underlåter att
uppfylla anmälningsplikten som stadgas i Bidragsbrottslagen. Lagen om
underrättelseskyldighet vid felaktiga utbetalningar från välfärdsystemen
stadgar en skyldighet som innebär att en myndighet är skyldig att underrätta
en annan myndighet om det finns anledning att anta att ett felaktigt bidrag
betalats ut från den andra myndigheten.
Lagarnas tillämpningsområden utvidgades i januari 2020 till att omfatta
brottsliga beteenden som tidigare omfattats av bedrägeribestämmelserna.
Som en följd av utvidgningen höjs även maxstraffet för grova bidragsbrott
till sex års fängelse. (Less)
Abstract
Welfare crimes are a problem that has received more attention in recent
years. The incorrect payments from the swedish welfare systems are
estimated to amount 11-27 billion SEK per year, which is 2-4 percent of all
payments from the welfare systems. One sort of welfare crimes are the
subsidy crimes. To detect and prevent subsidy crimes there are two
important laws, Subsidycrimelaw and The law of obligation to notify about
incorrect payments from the welfare system. The thesis focus is the changes

made on theese laws and their precursors.

Anyone who submits inaccurate information and thus causes a danger that a
subsidy is incorrectly paid or paid with an excessive amount is guilty of a
subsidy crime. The same applies to those who fail to comply with the
notification requirement laid down in Subsidycrimelaw. The other, above
mentioned, law establishes an obligation which means that one government
body is obliged to notify another government body if there is a reason to
believe that an incorrect subsidy has been paid from the other government
body.
The scope of both laws was expanded in January 2020 to include criminal
behaviors that were previously coverd by the regulation on fraud. As a result
of the expansion, the maximum penalty for the most serious subsidy crimes
is increased to six years in prison. (Less)
