Retirement home/care home or sheltered housing

Are you, your spouse, cohabiting partner or partner moving to a municipal retirement home/care home or sheltered housing? In such case, you can receive a retirement pension calculated as a single retiree. The municipality will report this to Nav.

If you have received a place in a retirement home/care home, you will pay a contribution deduction to the municipality. The municipality will ensure that the payment is deducted from your pension. Contact your municipality if you have any questions regarding this payment.

Somatic hospital

If you are admitted to a somatic hospital, you will retain your entire pension payment. Somatic hospitals treat «bodily» illnesses, in contrast to psychiatric institutions.

Psychiatric institutions

From and including the fourth month after admission, your retirement pension will be reduced to 14 percent of the original retirement pension. However, there is a minimum guarantee, which means that you will receive a minimum of 22.5 percent of the minimum pension level at the higher rate/guaranteed pension high rate.

If you are providing for a spouse or children, you will retain full retirement pension.

If you have regular and necessary expenses for accommodation, you can request that Nav evaluate whether you can retain the entire or a larger part of your retirement pension. In such case you must send documentation to Nav Family and Pensions Office, PB 6600 Etterstad, 0607 OSLO.

When you are discharged from the institution, your retirement pension will be paid out at the normal rate.

Prison

If you are serving a prison sentence, you will receive a retirement pension in the month you go to prison, and in the following month. Thereafter payments of retirement pension will stop.

If you provide for children, you will, however, receive 50 percent of your retirement pension. If you provide for a spouse, you will not have the right to receive retirement pension whilst you are in prison.

Payments will be reinstated in the month after your release from prison.

If you are not serving a sentence in a prison but are allowed to remain at home whilst the sanction is served, your retirement pension will not be reduced. This applies, for example, while carrying out community service, serving a suspended sentence or whilst on parole.

If you have AFP in the public or private sector, you will retain payments whilst you are in prison.
