You may receive a mobility allowance if you accept a job located farther away from your home or if you move to another locality for work.

How to Apply for a Mobility Allowance

  1. Apply through Nettikassa LINKKI. If you cannot use Nettikassa, send your application by post — you can download the application form at the bottom of this page. We do not accept applications or attachments by email.
  2. Submit your application no later than three months after the start of your employment or training.
  3. Include your employment contract or another written statement from the employer outlining the key terms of employment.
  4. If you are applying for a mobility allowance for training, also include details of the training.

If you are not receiving earnings-related unemployment allowance, first apply for it from Nettikassa LINKKI for the days you have been unemployed.

If you are working part-time: submit both the mobility allowance application and the earnings-related allowance application, which shows your working days.

The allowance is paid retroactively in periods of four weeks or one month.
