Depending on the agreement between Finland and the US, you might have to pay Finnish income tax on such income.

Whether US welfare payments are paid to people living abroad you have to ask from your welfare provider in the US.

” pensions and other payments under the social security legislation of a Contracting State and, where that Contracting State is the United States, other public pensions, paid to a resident of the other Contracting State or a citizen of the United States shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State.”
