Søknadsbehandling

The municipality receives and registers the application and will have on-going contact with you. Information is obtained from a number of public registers such as the Population Registry, the tax authorities and the Norwegian labour and welfare administration. The State Housing Bank makes the formal decision regarding housing benefit.

You do not need to re-apply each month once you have been granted benefits, but you must notify the authorities if changes occur that have a bearing on the benefits. If you move house, you must re-apply and supply new information.

Klagemulighet

If you are not satisfied with the decision, you may appeal to the municipal housing support office within three weeks of having been informed of the decision. Explain why you are not satisfied and what you feel should be changed. If you need advice, you may ask the municipality. Remember to state you name, address, date of birth and Norwegian identity number, and municipality of residence. The appeal must be signed. All appeals are considered by the State Housing Bank's regional office. This may take up to three months.
