Parental benefit is intended to ensure parents an income in connection with the birth or adoption of a child. If you are expecting a child and have not had an income in the past year, you can receive a lump-sum instead of the parental benefit.

To register as a job seeker or to receive unemployment benefit while you are seeking work, you need to report to NAV every 14 days. You can do this by submitting an employment status form online.

Here you can register as a jobseeker with NAV. You might have rights to unemployment benefits (dagpenger) if you are temporarily laid off (permittert) or unemployed.

Sickness benefits compensate for loss of income for those who are occupationally disabled due to an illness or injury.
