During week 30 (21 July–27 July 2025), just under 500 applications were received by the fund, which means the number of applications decreased slightly compared to the previous week. A total of 1,207 applications were taken up for processing. The number of applications awaiting additional information has also increased slightly, so please remember to check your messages in Openetti!

Overall, the processing situation is very good: continued applications are processed in less than a week, and even first-time applications are being handled in around one week (status as of 29 July 2025).

Please note that the turn of the month is the busiest time for us at the fund, so processing times may be slightly longer around that time.

Is it time to submit a follow-up application?

For many applicants, submitting a follow-up application may be relevant right now. We recommend checking our instructions on how to submit one.

Starting a new job in August?

If you are starting a new job in August, please visit our summer pages for instructions on submitting your final application or applying for daily allowance if you are starting part-time work in the autumn. We will also publish a separate news update on this topic during week 31 – so keep an eye on our website if this applies to you!
