KELA

KELA, or Kansaneläkelaitos (in Finnish), also FPA or Folkpensionsanstalten (in Swedish), is a Finnish government agency in charge of payment for the national social security programs. It was founded in 1937 to handle retirement pay, but in the 1980s and 1990s its role was expanded to handle other fields like child benefits and unemployment benefits.
