Care allowance for children (omvårdnadsbidrag)
Compensation if you care for a child with an illness or disability.
Quick check: does this apply to you?
Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.
- Your child needs extra care or supervision
- The need is expected to last at least six months
What affects the decision
- How large the extra need is
- How long the need is expected to last
What to do
- Read the rules and current amounts at Försäkringskassan.
- Get a certificate from healthcare that describes the child’s needs.
- Apply in Försäkringskassan’s e-service. You log in with e-identification at the authority, never at Rättkoll.
- You get a decision. If your situation changes, you usually need to report it.
Give correct information. From 1 July 2026, Försäkringskassan charges a sanction fee if you were overpaid because you gave incorrect information or did not report a change: 25 percent of the incorrect amount, at least 2,368 SEK.
