How to use a power of attorney 

You can authorize another adult to handle your matters, for example to submit an application, its attachments, or an appeal on your behalf, or to take care of issues through the telephone service.

• Submit a written power of attorney to the fund, authorizing another person to act on your behalf.

• No signature is required on the power of attorney if you send it as a message through the Nettikassa LINKKI messaging service.

The power of attorney must include the following information:

• grantor of the power of attorney (name and personal identity code)
• person authorized (name of the authorized person)
  • also indicate the organization, if the authorization is given to, for example, a social worker
• scope of authorization, for example:
  • all unemployment benefit matters with the Super Unemployment Fund
  • matters related to a specific application
  • matters related to a specific appeal or recovery case
• period of validity (whether the power of attorney is valid for a fixed period or until further notice)
• date and signature of the grantor
