What to take into consideration when you retire on a pension

The following are some of the points you should consider when retiring:

• When does Kela pay your pensions nd other benefits into your account?
• Are your taxes affected?
• What kinds of changes should you notify to Kela?
• Can you work while retired?
• Do you need an ID or certificate showing your pensioner status to qualify for discounts on public transport etc.?
• Can you authorize someone to handle your affairs on your behalf?

What services, care and support are you eligible for? How can you arrange your financial affairs? Where can you find information about hobbies and community activitities? See the pages for the elderly on suomi.fi (in Finnish).
