Additional adjustment of 3.5% to Kela benefits from 1 August 2022

The amount of most Kela benefits will be increased in August as an additional adjustment was made to the National Pensions Index due to inflation.

Many benefits provided by Kela are tied to the National Pensions Index. The National Pensions Index is normally adjusted once a year, at the beginning of January, but now Parliament decided that an additional adjustment will be made to the index for the period 1.8-31.12.2022.
