One-off Easter aid offered by government available for beneficiaries

The one-off payments of 1,500 lei and 5,000 lei, granted under the support package Easter Aid for Families are available for beneficiaries starting 2 May. Minister of Labor and Social Protection Alexei Buzu made the statement today.

The support will reach over 230,000 families. The money will be transferred to the existing social card, where beneficiaries already receive certain social benefits, or to another bank card identified by the Government, which is used by beneficiaries and entered into the databases of the National Social Insurance House.

If beneficiaries do not have a social card or a bank card, the money can be collected at post offices. For citizens abroad, the payment will be available until the end of the year.


'These payments were made possible thanks to the generous support of the European Union,' Buzu said.


According to the authorities, the total value of the Easter aid is 470 million lei, granted under Budget +Plus project. Over 203,000 families with children under five years old will benefit from 1,500 lei. Additionally, 5,000 lei will be given to 11,500 families raising children with disabilities and 20,976 families caring for adults with severe disabilities.
