Payment dates from NAV
Wondering when your money from NAV will arrive? NAV pays out benefits such as unemployment benefits, sick pay, work assessment allowance and other benefits on fixed dates each month.
The general rule is that payment happens around the 20th of each month, but some benefits have other dates. Check the official dates for your benefit.
