As of September 1, the child benefit will be adjusted to those with children under the age of six.
However, the rates for those receiving social benefits are also adjusted upward from the same date.
Get more out of the year
At the same time, it is good to note that it is possible to receive more than what the rates say.
Here are the new rates
The Government writes that the guideline rates are adjusted based on prices in accordance with the estimate of growth of consumer prices in the national budget for 2020, which is more specifically 1 (1.9 percent).
As you can see from the overview below, this has a relatively small effect on monthly amounts:
The new indicative rates are as of September 1:
- Singles: NOK 6,250 (previously: NOK 6,150)
- Married couple / partners: 10,450 (before: 10,250 crowns)
- Person in a housing association: NOK 5,250 (formerly: NOK 5,150)
- Children 0-5 years: NOK 2,750 (before: NOK 2,400)
- Children from 6 to 10 years: 3150 crowns (before: 3100 crowns)
- Children from 11 to 17 years old: 4,100 crowns (previously: 4,000 crowns)
The government writes that the guiding guidelines include expenses for very basic needs, such as food, clothing, communication, household items and hygiene and more, and must also take into account other aspects of daily life, such as leisure and social needs.
You must use discretion
Nav is responsible for evaluating the applications and paying the social benefits. Her department writes in an email to Dinside that the fundamental principle in processing a request for financial benefits is that specific and individual assessments should be made of assistance needs, benefit amounts and the form of benefits.
In practice, this means that Nav must use discretion and that the rates that have now been adjusted are only guidelines.
– The navigation office has the right and the duty to make discretionary evaluations in each individual case. If the user has children, special attention should be paid to their needs. State guidelines are only guidelines for measurement and cannot replace individual assessment, writes the professional department.
