400 000 Finnish pensioners to receive extra pension in December by mistake
In Finland, the government agency responsible for public sector pensions has made a mistake and sent for payment January pensions in December, amounting to over 400 million euros, Finnish public broadcaster YLE reports.
Keva, the agency responsible for managing municipal pensions in Finland, has noticed on Wednesday, December 16, that it has accidentally made payments to about 400,000 people a month too early. «It was noticed this morning that the municipal pensions were paid out ahead of schedule due to human error.
As a result, municipal pensioners will receive an additional payment into their accounts tomorrow,» the agency’s Deputy CEO Kimmo Mikander stated to YLE and offered apologies.
Finnish Keva CEO Timo Kietäväinen added: «It is essential that retirees prepare for this, that the next pension payment will not come in January but only at the beginning of February».
