Kela’s OmaKela service disrupted, affecting housing allowance applications
A technical disruption in Kela’s online service OmaKela has left some users unable to apply for general housing allowance and general housing benefit. The issue, which began on Saturday morning at 6:45, also prevents the submission of unemployment period notifications, Kela reports on its website.
Kela’s technical support confirmed to Helsingin Sanomat on Saturday afternoon that the problem remained unresolved, with no estimated time for a fix. The cause of the disruption is still under investigation (Helsingin Sanomat; Yle).
While the service is not fully down, the disruption affects some users, according to Kela (Yle). The agency has not provided further details on the extent of the issue or potential workarounds for affected individuals.
