This is a new benefit, the State social assistance benefit is intended to cover the basic living needs of the person (members of the household) at a level providing for their basic living needs, housing costs and proper upbringing of dependent children. The benefit credits families for their work activity.
The income and property situation of the individual and members of the household shall be assessed.
Livelihood file
It helps the household to cover the basic necessities of life, if the decisive income of the household does not exceed 1.43 times the amount of the subsistence minimum. The amount of the subsistence component depends on the so-called amount for the living needs of the household member. The amount for living necessities may be further increased if the state of health of the person requires, according to the recommendation of the competent specialist, an increased cost of dietary meals. To do this, it is necessary to provide a certified form.
Housing component
It helps the household to cover housing costs, provided that at least one member of the household has a legal title to live in the apartment or other living space (rental contract, ownership certificate, accommodation contract, etc.) in which he/she lives and the housing costs exceed a certain part of the household's decisive income (0.30 times), and this part is not higher than the decisive housing costs.
Subject to compliance with the conditions laid down by law, it is possible to provide a component for housing in an apartment, but also in other areas for housing (residential social services, accommodation facilities, buildings for individual or family recreation, other than living space).
Bonus per child
It belongs to a household with dependent children when receiving up to 4 times the amount of the subsistence minimum and helps with the reimbursement of costs related to the care of dependent children. The condition is regular school attendance and work activity of all members of the household.
