<h1>Average processing times</h1>

<h2>Please note that all displayed times are averages</h2>

<p>The processing time displayed on the page is an average for the last seven days calculated on the basis of the time needed to process complete applications. Some applications will be processed faster than the average while others will take longer.</p>
</div>
</div>

<p> A longer-than-average processing time is often due to the application missing relevant information or documents which is requested from the applicant. The processing of the application can also take longer if Kela has to wait for information related to the processing of the application from abroad. Also, applications may take longer to process if a large number of applications are received over a short period of time.</p>

<h2>Annettu käsittelyaika on keskiarvo</h2>

<p>Sivulla näytettävä käsittelyaika on keskiarvo, joka on laskettu edeltävän 7 päivän ajalta. Osa hakemuksista käsitellään jonkin verran keskiarvoa nopeammin ja osa hitaammin.</p>
</div>
</div>

<p>Keskimääräistä pidempi käsittelyaika johtuu usein siitä, että hakemuksesta on puuttunut tietoja tai liitteitä, ja niitä on pyydetty hakijalta. Käsittelyaika pidentyy myös silloin, kun Kela joutuu odottamaan hakemuksen käsittelyyn liittyviä tietoja ulkomailta. Lisäksi käsittely voi ruuhkautua, jos Kelaan tulee paljon hakemuksia kerralla.</p>

<h2>Handläggningstiden som visas är ett medeltal</h2>

<p>Handläggningstiden som visas på sidan är ett medeltal som har räknats på basis av handläggningen under de senaste 7 dagarna. En del ansökningar handläggs snabbare och en del långsammare än genomsnittet.</p>
</div>
</div>

<p>Om handläggningstiden är längre än genomsnittet beror det oftast på att det saknas uppgifter eller bilagor i ansökan, och FPA ber  att få dem. Handläggningstiden blir också längre när FPA måste vänta på uppgifter i samband med handläggningen av ansökan från utlandet. Det kan också bli kö i handläggningen om det kommer in väldigt många ansökningar på en gång.</p>
