Send us messages, daily allowance applications and attachments, check your payment details, update your contact details and check your membership fee information.
When you apply for earnings-related daily allowance, it is your responsibility as an applicant to give us all the information we need to decide on your claim. You are also obliged to notify us of any changes that may affect your right to receive benefit or that may change the amount of benefit.
This may sound like a burdensome obligation or otherwise cause you concern, but don’t worry. When you make an application for earnings-related daily allowance on OmaYTK, our service will guide and advise you on how to provide all the necessary information.
Always fill in your application carefully. If you fail to declare or misdeclare facts that affect your entitlement to benefits or the amount of your benefit, you could be subject to a recovery order. This means that you will have to pay back the daily allowance that you are not entitled to.
If you deliberately or persistently fail to report or misreport information, you may also be reprimanded, warned or excluded from the fund. If there is reason to suspect a criminal offence, we must also submit a request for investigation to the police.
