michcabs2013

I heard from my friends that many of them didnt get this cash and care benefits as for the new rule that both parents should have been living here for 5 years. Any experience, comments or reactions about this rule?

Hi,
I am not aware and not sure about any new rule. I came to Norway 7 months ago along with my family and i am getting cash & care benefits for the past 5 months for my son who is 1 - 2 yrs. Resident permit, Personal ID and bank ID were required. Online application in NAV application works. If the kid is more than 2 yrs, then you must have stayed in norway for atleast 1 year. I am not aware of any other rules.

Hi,  When did you send in for your application for cash and care for benefits?

The new rules apply for NEW application from 1st July 2017.

Given that you said you are here for 7 months already and receive benefits 5 months ago, I assume your application was sent in before July?  NAV is not reputable for being able to disburse cash for benefit immediatly in the same month of application.

I guess thats the case for him.

I saw the new rule as i was searching for it because my son is turning 1yr old soon. It was quiet disappointing knowing that they changed the rules. But we will still try to apply.

Is your husband norweigan citizenship?  I know that a lot of norwegians with foreign wives are objecting towards the rule.  and the last news I heard about this rule, the parliament plans to debate whether it should be waive for spouses of norwegian citizens.  The reason is the rule was set to prevent foreign families who are trying to exploit the system and not contributing to the workforce.

Yes my husband is norwegian citizen and he think that its unfair.

Yes its true, i born my son nov 10 and last yr i tried to apply for cash benefit before my son turn 1 but they rejected my application because i have not stayed 5yrs i only stayed 3 yrs. Yes, for me i feel its unfair because some of my friends receive and im married to a norwegian. But me and husband tried to appeal and waiting for the reply.

Yes! You need to stay here at least 5 years. Or you worked 5 years (including working in other EU countries) I got rejected also coz I am not yet 5 years here but they send me mail that I can re apply again September when I will be 5 years here in Norway
