Delays in the processing of financial aid applications – students may have to wait for decisions and benefits

Kela has received a large number of applications for the housing supplement for students due to recent changes in the housing benefits available to students. As a result, the application processing times for student financial aid and the student housing supplement are longer than usual, and customers may have to wait for a decision on their application.

The processing times for applications for student financial aid and the housing supplement for students are longer than usual. The reason for this is the large number of applications for the student housing supplement Kela has received due to recent changes in the housing benefits available to students.

From 1 August 2025 onwards, students can get a housing supplement for students. This means that general housing allowance will no longer be paid to students after 31 July 2025. .
