Draft amendments have been made in the Law on State Social Assistance and the Rules for applying,assigning,granting and refusing to receive social assistance. Thus,under the current legislation,the e-system automatically refuses to provide targeted social assistance when the average monthly amount of utility and communication costs per family member exceeds 10% of the approved living wage in the country. The new projects include increasing the threshold.
In total,this year increasing the number of families receiving targeted social assistance to 85-90 thousand is targeted.
