Report changes
You must tell Kela as soon as possible about any changes in your circumstances that could affect the amount of your sickness allowance or your right to it.
Tell Kela if
- you start work while receiving sickness allowance
- you move abroad
- you are a student and you begin to study on a full-time basis
- you are insured under the Self-Employed Persons’ (YEL) or Farmers’ (MYEL) Pensions Act and there is a change in your insurable earnings or the insurance ends.
