Government
has proposed to the Parliament of Finland a legislative amendment
concerning standard entitlement (standard entitlement of currently 500 euros/month) and
mobility allowance (persons who work full-time may receive mobility allowance
if the commute takes two hours).  According to this new proposal these
temporary legislative changes would not expire until the end of September. Currently,
these legislative changes are set to expire at the end of June.

Other legislative
changes, that are possibly getting extended are: special adjustment periods and
the calculated earned labour income based on the special periods do not apply,
business income can be taken into account based on the applicant’s own
declaration if their income has decreased due to the coronavirus pandemic and
possibility of advance payment.

We will
update on our website, when The Finnish Parliament has confirmed the extension.
