Am I eligible for pension from Keva?

Your pension is administered and paid by the pension provider where your last employment contract was insured.

Keva administers the pensions of public sector employees, i.e. those working for local government, the State, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bank of Finland and Kela. If your last employer before retirement was a public sector employer, your pension provider is Keva.
