The new year is always about changes. We could also expect these changes in the Norwegian Employment and Social Welfare Office, ie Nav. What has changed, let alone change? Who will have an easier life and who will get worse?
Families with children will get more
Change is an indispensable part of our life. It is said that the only thing that is certain in life is change. The new year brings us many. Nav also decided to introduce some new regulations in 2019. Families with children will receive more, but those with celiac disease will receive fewer benefits than before. Some of the new regulations were implemented on January 1, but many will be introduced on March 1.

Parents who have children of their own or decide to adopt will experience the greatest increase benefits when paid barrel. Let us remind you that this is a one-off benefit that parents are entitled to without the right to parental benefit. Until the end of 2018, this rate was CZK 63.140, and from January 1 it is CZK 83.140.

Family allowance
The state budget was prepared in November 2018. At that time, its creators decided that the monthly child benefit would be increased to CZK 1.054 from the previous amount of CZK 970. This change will take effect on March 1. Withdrawal system benefits remain unchanged, it is still the month following the birth of the child, up to the month before the child reaches the age of majority. The money is paid to the child's mother.
People with celiac disease
Unfortunately, this change will not please people who require a gluten-free diet. It turns out that Nav significantly reduced the amount of benefits. So far, people with celiac disease have received financial support in the amount of 23.998 crowns per year. From March 1, people between the ages of 5-30 will receive an allowance of SEK 16.464 per year. The other age group will be even worse, as the payment will be CZK 1.047 per month, which is CZK 12.564 per year.

Parental leave
Parents who go on parental leave will be on it for 49 weeks and have chosen the option of 100% of their previous salary, will not feel any change. However, the changes affected those parents who chose a longer period of leave, i.e. 59 weeks, and the option of receiving 80% of their previous salary. When parents choose a longer payout period, paternity or maternity leave increases from 15 to 19 weeks. The time shared, which is split between two parents, is reduced from 26 weeks to 18 weeks.
