unemployment (top-up) fund booster


Explanation:
It might be a good idea to spell out the abbreviation of a-kasse that might be confusable with the vaguely related and 'commoner' A- for anställningsskatt!

Example sentence(s):
  • USA: Boosting unemployment benefits would be well-targeted to workers in need, easy to administer via the existing state-run systems, and affordable within the contexts of the stimulus packages being considered.
  • A-skatt, eller anställningsskatt, är den preliminärskatt och de sociala avgifter som en arbetsgivare drar av innan lönen betalas ut.

  -> my previous notarial translation agency in Central London: 'we can argue about style until the cows come home - if the translation is not actually wrong'. BTW, it's - on the face of the construction - the fund rather than the benefit that is augmented.
