Parents who receive private day care allowance payments must notify Kela of any changes in their child care arrangements during the summer or early autumn. Such changes may be relevant to the payment of the allowance. The notification can be made conveniently in the OmaKela e-service.

Kela will begin sending alerts to Suomi.fi Messages. Customers will be notified of new decisions or letters issued by Kela via the Suomi.fi e-service if they have activated Suomi.fi Messages and opted out of paper mail in the OmaKela e-service. Opting out of paper mail saves public funds.

We recommend using the OmaKela e-service or calling Kela’s customer service numbers if you need to contact Kela during the summer. The opening hours of many Kela service points will change for the summer.
