No entitlement to daily allowance for parents at home with children
If you stay at home with children without being employed within the group with community-bearing professions, you are not entitled to daily allowance according to FPA, announces Minister of education Annika Hambrudd.
Hambrudd says the recommendation from FPA is to talk to their employers to see if it is possible to work remotely. If there is no possibility of working remotely, you should check with the employer if you have overtime, flex or vacation to take out.
Finally, if you must take leave from work causing economic pressure, then the recommendation is to contact social authorities to see if you can be granted help with income support.
To check if you are entitled to housing assistance, you should contact FPA.
