CASH-FOR-CARE BENEFIT

General information

The purpose of cash-for-care benefit

Cash-for-care benefit is intended to help:


families to have more time to take care of their children
themselves
families to have a real choice about who cares for their
children
ensure greater equality in the help individual families
receive from the state for childcare

Entitlement conditions for cash-for-care benefit

The child must be aged between one and two. In the


case of adopted children, the upper limit for entitlement
to cash-for-care benefit is up to and including the month
the child starts school.
The child and the person who will receive the cashfor-care benefit must be resident in Norway. A person
is deemed resident in Norway if he/she has lived, or is
going to live, in Norway for more than 12 months. Under
the EEA rules, cash-for-care benefit can be granted on
certain conditions if one of the parents works in Norway,
regardless of which EEA country the child lives in.
The child must not be, or only partly be, using a publicly
subsidised kindergarten place. Kindergartens may provide
information about this.

Who is entitled to cash-for-care benefit?

The person with whom the child lives on a permanent basis is the person who is entitled to cash-for-care benefit.
Assessments of with whom a child lives on a permanent basis
are based on the rules of the Children Act. When a childs
parents live together, the benefit is paid to the parent who
claimed cash-for-care benefit. If both parents submitted the
claim, the cash-for-care benefit is paid to the mother.
If the parents do not live together but have signed a dual
domicile agreement concerning the child under section 36 of
the Children Act, the cash-for-care benefit can be split if the
child does not use a publicly subsidised kindergarten place.

Claim for cash-for-care


benefit for parents of young
children

How much cash-for-care benefit will you receive?

Cash-for-care benefit may be paid for a maximum of 11 months.


Your childs allotted hours in a publicly subsidised kindergarten
determine how much cash-for-care benefit you will receive. If
the child uses a kindergarten place in an EEA country other
than Norway, entitlement to cash-for-care benefit depends on
whether or not it is a publicly subsidised kindergarten. Allotted
hours means the maximum number of hours the child can be in
the kindergarten. The child spending less time in kindergarten
will not affect the size of the cash-for-care benefit. You cannot
receive cash-for-care benefit if the child has a full-time place
in a kindergarten, i.e. if the allotted hours are 20 hours or more
per week. When the allotted hours are less than 20 hours per
week, you may receive 50 per cent of the full cash-for-care
benefit rate.
You can find out more about the rates on: www.nav.no/
familie/kontantsttte. The Storting (Norwegian parliament)
fixes the annual rates for cash-for-care benefit and rates
are therefore subject to change. Cash-for-care benefit is a
tax-free benefit.

When can you receive cash-for-care benefit?

You can receive cash-for-care benefit from the month after


the childs 1st birthday, or from the month after it leaves kindergarten. You should therefore submit your claim the month
before since NAV requires up-to-date information. The benefit
can be paid up to and including the month before the childs
2nd birthday.
You can receive cash-for-care benefit for adopted children after
your period of entitlement to full parental benefits for adoption
expires, or would have expired if you were entitled to parental
benefits for adoption. The same date applies if you have received a lump-sum grant. You can receive cash-for-care benefit for
a period of up to 11 months until the adopted child starts school.
Cash-for-care benefit is changed from the month after the
allotted hours in kindergarten are changed.
Cash-for-care benefit cannot be backdated for more than
three months before the calendar month in which a claim was
submitted (section 8 of the Cash Benefit Act).

Claims

You must always complete pages 1 and 2 of this form. Keep


this general information after you have completed pages 1
and 2. Send your claim (pages 1 and 2) to NAV. You must
enclose the childs birth certificate if the child is not registered
in the Norwegian National Population Register.
If you are claiming cash-for-care benefit under the EEA
Agreements rules, you must complete both an ordinary

claim form and a Supplementary form for claims for payment


of child benefit and/or cash-for-care benefit based on export
rules under the EEA Agreement.
Once your claim has been processed and a decision made
about whether or not you are entitled to cash-for-care benefit,
you will receive written notification from NAV.

Your obligations as a benefit recipient

You must provide the information, statements and certificates


necessary for NAV to determine whether or not you are entitled to cash-for-care benefit. A municipal register has been
set up containing information about the use of kindergartens
by children aged between one and two. NAV receives information from this register every month and checks it against
the information you have provided, see section 16 of the
Cash Benefit Act..
You must tell NAV if your child starts kindergarten, or if your
childs allotted hours in kindergarten change. You may be
entitled to cash-for-care benefit if the allotted hours are
reduced to less than 20 hours per week or if your child stops

NAV 34-00.08 English Published 06.2003 Amended 12.2012 PDF-versjon

using a kindergarten place. In these circumstances you should


claim cash-for-care benefit.
If you receive cash-for-care benefit under the EEA rules and
you or the other parent starts or stops working, you must tell
NAV.
NAV can demand repayment of any cash-for-care benefit that
has been paid because you have negligently failed to provide,
or have provided incorrect, information. The same also applies
to cash-for-care benefit you have received and to which you
ought to have understood you were not entitled (section 11 of
the Cash Benefit Act). You may also be liable for prosecution
in such cases (section 23 of the Cash Benefit Act)..

Completing the form

Further information about some of the boxes on the form is provided below. You can provide
additional information in box 6 or on a separate sheet of paper.
1.1 Cash-for-care benefit should be claimed by the per-

for-care benefit for a period of up to 11 months until


the child starts school. You must state whether the
child lives with you on a permanent basis or whether
a dual domicile agreement has been signed with the
childs other parent. The dual domicile agreement
must be produced. In these circumstances the cashfor-care benefit can be split 50/50 if the parents agree.
Split cash-for-care benefit is conditional on neither of
the parents having the child in a publicly subsidised
kindergarten, see point 5 below. In the case of disagreement, the cash-for-care benefit will be paid to the
parent with whom the child is registered as living on a
permanent basis in the Norwegian National Population
Register.

son with whom the child lives on a permanent basis.


If the child lives with both parents, they can choose
who will submit the claim. If the child lives with just
one of the parents on a permanent basis, that parent
is the person who should claim. If the parents have
signed a dual domicile agreement (under section 38
of the Children Act) and want to split the cash-for-care
benefit, both parents must submit the claim.

1.2 Usually you are only entitled to cash-for-care benefit

if you are resident in Norway. You will be deemed


resident if you have lived in Norway for 12 months
or if it is likely you will live in Norway for more than
12 months. Therefore, if you have lived in Norway
for less than 12 months, the information you provide
about when you arrived in Norway and how long you
intend to stay must be accurate. If you are an asylum
seeker, the earliest cash-for-care benefit can be paid
is from the moment a decision has been made about
your asylum or residence status in Norway.

Short, temporary periods abroad of up to three months


do not affect you residency status. If you are abroad
for a continuous period of more than three months,
you will no longer be deemed to fulfil the residency
requirement. You must provide information about planned stays abroad, including those that will be shorter
than three months. Use box 6 if you need to.
The main condition for entitlement to cash-for-care
benefit under Norwegian law is that the child must be
resident in Norway. Under the EEA Agreement, you
may also be entitled to cash-for-care benefit from the
EEA country in which a parent works or receives a
pension from, even if the child is resident in another
EEA country. If the child is resident in another EEA
country while one of the parents works in Norway or
on the Norwegian continental shelf, you may be entitled to cash-for-care benefit from Norway. In these
circumstances you must enclose documentation
about the employment relationship with your claim
for cash-for-care benefit. If you are claiming cashfor-care benefit under the EEA Agreements rules,
you must complete both an ordinary claim form and
a Supplementary form for claims for payment of child
benefit and/or cash-for-care benefit based on export
rules under the EEA Agreement.

4.1 You can receive cash-for-care benefit for a period

4.2 You can receive cash-for-care benefit for adopted


children the month after your period of entitlement to
full parental benefits for adoption expires, or would
have expired if you were entitled to parental benefits
for adoption. The same date applies if you have received a lump-sum grant. You can receive cash-for-care
benefit for a period of up to 11 months until the child
starts school. You must therefore tell us if the child is
adopted.

4.3 You are not entitled to cash-for-care benefit for foster

children you care for under the rules of the Child Welfare Act.

4.4 The child must, like you, be resident in Norway. See


the comments regarding box 1.2 and the comments
regarding box 3 about exemptions.

4.5 You are not entitled to cash-for-care benefit if the child

lives in a foster home, childrens home, or a similar


institution under the rules of the Child Welfare Act.

Entitlement to cash-for-care benefit is conditional on


whether or not the child uses a publicly subsidised kindergarten place. Kindergartens may provide information
about this. You are not entitled to cash-for-care benefit
if the childs allotted hours in such a kindergarten are 20
hours or more per week. If the allotted hours are 19 hours
or less, you may receive 50 per cent of the full cash-forcare benefit rate. It is the number of hours allotted to
the child in the kindergarten at any time that determines
whether or not you are entitled to cash-for-care benefit
and, if so, the amount you will receive, not how long the
child actually spends in kindergarten.
