Big change to official mail!
From 12 January 2026, official mail will be delivered primarily digitally to everyone who uses electronic services. Adults who identify themselves in the authorities’ electronic services will receive Suomi.fi messages without separate consent in connection with Suomi.fi identification, unless the person already uses the service.

Universal support proposed as a new benefit
The government is proposing a new general allowance for Finland that would replace the current labour market allowance and basic daily allowance – labour market allowance and basic daily allowance would therefore be abolished at the same time. If the Parliament approves the proposal for general allowance, this legislation regarding general allowance will come into force on 1 May 2026.
General allowance would differ from the current basic daily allowance in particular in that it would be a means-tested benefit. This means that in addition to the applicant’s earned income, other income, such as rental income and capital income, would affect the amount of the allowance. As income from work increases, general allowance would decrease steadily.

Change to our phone services
From January first, 2025, our English phone number will no longer be in use, as the service is available in both Finnish and English from the same phone number. Therefore, the number 06 416 6545 is no longer in use, but you can still use the number 06 416 6544.
Information letters to help you
We have been sending our customers a monthly infoletter since September of this year. In each letter, we present the service offerings for the month to support job search, divided into different target groups. This way, you can stay on top of our current services. These information packages will also arrive next year, starting in January. Check out the offerings – maybe you will find a solution that suits your situation!
