Social Insurance Administration: Medical- and rehabilitation allowance from September 1st 2025

Why are the sickness and rehabilitation payments and the household supplement not itemized in the payment plan?

In the new system, sickness and rehabilitation benefits and household supplements are added together, then 45% of income above the income disregard is deducted. The result appears as a single total.

The general income disregard for sickness and rehabilitation benefits is 40,000 krona per month, and the special income disregard for employment income is 160,000 krona per month.
