28.5.2019 14.00 Data on benefits will be submitted to the Incomes Register from 2021

The Ministry of Finance is preparing amendments to legislation that will postpone the expansion of the Incomes Register to include pensions and benefits data until 2021. The increase in the number of users accessing salary data will, however, go ahead as planned next year. By 2020, the Employment Fund will be able to access and use data on employment relationships and salaries held in the Incomes Register in relation to processing adult education benefits. Generally speaking, this will mean that people applying for adult education benefits will no longer be required to send salary information to the Employment Fund.
