Supplementary and preventive social assistance
Tags
Adult social workThe wellbeing services county decides whether you, as a recipient of basic social assistance, are eligible for supplementary or preventive social assistance.
You may also apply for supplementary and preventive social assistance directly from the wellbeing services county if you have already been granted basic social assistance by Kela for the same period of time.
Supplementary social assistance
Wellbeing services counties may grant supplementary social assistance on a discretionary basis for expenses arising from the special needs or circumstances of a person or family that are considered necessary to secure their income or promote their independent coping.
Special needs or circumstances can include long-term receipt of social assistance, a long-term or serious illness, special needs related to children's leisure activities and hobbies, or other comparable circumstances or needs.
Preventive social assistance
As a client of social work, you can apply for preventive social assistance. The assistance is discretionary and follows a social work plan, which is made together with you.
