Care and family allowance in Norway - when will you receive?
Norway's carer's allowance: You must meet at least one of the following conditions to be eligible for it.
- You live in Norway with your family
- You may be entitled to family and care allowance if your entire family lives in Norway and plans to live here for at least 12 months. This applies to all foreign citizens residing in Norway, registered with the Population Registry Office (Folkeregisteret) and having a residence permit or residing legally in Norway on another basis.
- EEA (European Economic Area) nationals * who work in Norway may also be entitled to Child Benefit and Childcare Benefit if they plan to live in Norway for less than 12 months. An additional condition for receiving care allowance is affiliation to the Norwegian social security system or the social security system in another EEA country for a period of at least 5 years. In order to meet the 5-year social security requirement, membership in Norway and another EEA country can be combined.
2. You are a citizen of an EEA country and work in Norway, and your family lives in another EEA country:
- If a parent living in another EEA country is employed or receives a benefit equivalent to work and is entitled to family and care allowance there, the Office NAV will pay the benefits less the amount of benefits paid in another EEA country.
- If a parent residing in another EEA country nie It has employment or receives benefits equivalent to work, a parent working in Norway is entitled to receive the full amount of family and care benefits from Norway.
- EEA nationals working on Norwegian ships or on the Norwegian continental shelf have the same rights as foreign workers working on the mainland in Norway. However, this does not apply to seafarers living in Latvia, Poland and Romania who work on ships registered in the Norwegian International Ship Register (NIS). The seafarers mentioned are subject to social security regulations in Latvia, Poland or Romania.
3.you are a posted worker from an EEA country to Norway:
- If your employer in another EEA country has posted you to work in Norway, you are not entitled to receive family or care allowance in Norway. This is because you are still working for an employer in another country and are still a member of the social security system in that country.
- If the spouse / cohabitant / cohabitant also moves to Norway and is considered to be resident in Norway according to EEA regulations, he / she will be entitled to child benefit and care allowance, even if the stay in Norway will be less than 12 months. NAV will in each case assess whether a person should be considered resident in Norway in accordance with EEA regulations. We take into account, among other things, the length of stay, family ties and the housing situation.
- If the spouse or common-law partner i the child will come with you to Norway and your spouse/cohabitant starts working here, he/she will become a member of the Norwegian social security system (folketrygden). In this way, he/she may be entitled to child and care allowance, even if the stay in Norway is shorter than 12 months.
4. You are a posted worker from a country outside the EEA with which Norway has a social security agreement:
- If your employer in another country has posted you to work in Norway, you are not entitled to receive family or care allowance in Norway. This is because you are still working for an employer in another country and are still a member of the social security system in that country.
