23 May 2023 at 13:57 The social security settlement is ready: The basic amount in the national insurance is increased by 6.41 per cent to NOK 118,620 Pensioners are almost guaranteed increased purchasing power this year after the social security settlement came into effect. The basic amount in the national insurance is increased by 6.41 per cent to NOK 118,620. Even if the price increase were to end at 5.4 per cent, as the government assumes in the revised national budget, pensioners will come out of the year with a solid increase in real income. – I am happy that this year we will have good growth in the basic amount. Benefits that are regulated through the basic amount, such as disability benefits and employment verification money, will receive an increase of 6.41 per cent, says Labor Minister Marte Mjøs Persen (Ap).
