The purpose of this benefit is to help cover the costs of raising a child.
To receive assisted aid from state, your child must live in Norway. A child is generally regarded as living in Norway if he or she has been in Norway for at least 12 consecutive months. You are entitled to receive such benefit from the month after the child is born or from the month after you qualify, if entitlement arises at a later date. Child is paid out until the month before the child turns 18.
If the conditions for ordinary or extended allowance are no longer met before the child turns 18, you will receive allowance up to and including the month the conditions have no longer been met. The benefit can be paid for up to 3 years from the date of application if the conditions are satisfied and it is not paid out to the child’s other parent and he or she is entitled recipient.
How do I apply for assisted child aid?
You do not usually need to apply. If the child is born in Norway, the mother will automatically receive such benefit around 2 months after the child is born. However, if the mother is not registered as living in Norway, you must apply using correct forms – and that’s when we come to place.
