Päivärahansiirto

Päivärahansiirto refers to the transfer of daily allowances, typically in the context of social security or financial assistance in Finland. This term is often associated with benefits paid by Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland. It can encompass situations where a daily allowance, such as sickness benefit or parental allowance, is transferred from one recipient to another or from one payment period to another under specific legal or administrative circumstances.

The most common scenario for päivärahansiirto involves the transfer of a portion of a benefit to a spouse or another caregiver under certain conditions, particularly concerning parental allowances. For example, if one parent is not utilizing their full entitlement to parental allowance, it might be possible to transfer some of it to the other parent. This allows for greater flexibility in how families manage childcare responsibilities and income.

Another interpretation of päivärahansiirto could relate to administrative processes where a benefit payment is redirected, for instance, if an incorrect bank account was initially provided, or if there's a need to adjust payment schedules due to changes in eligibility or circumstances. The specific rules and eligibility criteria for any form of päivärahansiirto are determined by Finnish legislation and Kela's regulations. Understanding these regulations is crucial for individuals seeking to utilize or facilitate such transfers.
