New vab-rules – the notification is being removed
Now the rules for the one who is at home with a sick child easier. The requirement to notify the vab on the first day dropped. At the same time sharpens the social Insurance checks.
At the end of the year changed the law so that parents no longer need to notify the vab directly when the child becomes sick. Instead, it should suffice to apply for the vab when the child is back at pre-school or school again.
– It becomes easier for the parents and it becomes a little easier administratively, the obligation to notify has not really filling any purpose, ” says Alexandra Wallin, director of department on Insurance.
the Application must be made no later than 90 days after the first vab day.
today, you need to notify the vab first day when the child becomes sick, and then apply for reimbursement once the child is back at pre-school or school again. A system that is perceived as a hassle by many parents, according to Alexandra Wallin.
– It is quite easy to miss it here. To understand the difference between notify and apply is not so easy we see some of the comments we get from parents, ” she says.
Already today the notify the vab back in time, but to remove the notification requirement entirely is still an important change, consider Alexandra Wallin.
– It is mainly for the parents.
She does not see any increased risk for cheating.
” No. I would say it rather enhances the possibility to check, because you must apply within 90 days. There is a difficulty in the day if we get to investigate very old cases. Nittiodagarsgränsen makes it easier.
at the same time, focuses the social Insurance, more on the controls both this year and next year. It is about improving the information on the vab, so that more people will be able to do the right thing, but also about building systems that better detect fraud and error.
“Then we have expanded the number of administrators who work with a certain type of controls in a specific selection where there is a high risk of error in the vab,” says Alexandra Wallin.
in Addition, the controls to a greater extent before the money is paid out.
– Then you can stop so that it does not go out the wrong money, or correct if it is wrong in the scope, ” says Alexandra Wallin.
the Notification for the vab is abolished by 1 January 2019.
instead, only the application for compensation is submitted.
It must be made no later than 90 days after the first vab day.
another change in the law is that both parents at the same time will be able to take out the vab of course to learn to care for their child. It applies if the child in need of care in case of illness or injury, such as disability.
