Necessary documents for the file (in copy): – standard application – applicants' identity documents; – child's birth certificate; – if applicable, marriage certificate or family record book; – certificate of child's disability classification, if applicable; – application approved by the management of the unit for entering child-raising leave; – proof issued by the employer or competent authorities regarding earned income; – order for suspension of the individual employment contract for a period of 1 year, 2 years or 3 years in the case of a child with a disability; – in the case of persons who simultaneously obtain taxable income from several sources, child-raising leave and allowance are granted based on supporting documents regarding the suspension of at least one of the activities; – applicant's tax file (if applicable); – if the applicant chooses to receive the allowance or incentive in a personal account, a bank statement, IBAN account from the bank is required. If a person is already receiving a child-raising allowance and gives birth to another child, a new file must be drawn up for the extension of the leave. If the person on child-raising leave opts for the incentive payment, a new file must be drawn up and an application submitted for granting the incentive. Starting from March 1, 2012, at least one month of the total period of child-raising leave is allocated to one of the persons who did not request this right. Therefore, regardless of the situation, the parent who is on child-raising leave or insertion incentive, except for cases where the applicability of art. 11 of GEO no.111/2010 is not mandatory, will lose one month of entitlement, whether it is allowance or incentive, if the other parent does not access their own right to leave. The new regulation applies to children born after March 1, 2012, being imposed under the principle that the responsibility of caring for the child lies with both parents.*
