Oradea Social Assistance Directorate*

The social inquiry is a method of investigation based on different techniques of collecting and processing information, for the purpose of analyzing the social and economic situation of individuals, families, groups, or communities.

The social inquiry is carried out by the specialized social service within the city hall in whose territorial jurisdiction the person with disabilities has their domicile or residence.

For carrying out the social inquiry, the applicant (as the case may be, their family, legal representative, personal assistant, the non-governmental organization of which the person with disabilities is a member or, in their absence, by any person representing them) shall submit, at the headquarters of the Oradea Social Assistance Directorate - Public Relations and Initial Evaluation Service, an application accompanied by the documents necessary for drawing up the social inquiry, after which an on-site verification at the patient’s home will follow.

Purpose of the operational procedure:

• Establishes the manner of admission of beneficiaries to the Oradea Night Shelter as well as the persons involved in carrying out this activity;
  
• Provides assurance regarding the existence of adequate documentation for conducting the activity;
  
• Ensures continuity of the activity, including in conditions of staff fluctuation.
  

Scope of application of the operational procedure:

The activity of admitting beneficiaries to the Night Shelter is the process by which a person requesting social services becomes a beneficiary thereof. The admission activity is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law and only if the Night Shelter can provide the minimum necessary services to meet the beneficiaries' needs. Beneficiaries and/or their legal representatives are aware of and accept the admission conditions.

All children up to the age of 18, as well as young people who have reached the age of 18 and who attend high school or vocational education courses organized according to the law, benefit from the state allowance for children until they complete their studies.

In the event that you also apply for the child raising allowance, it is no longer necessary to apply separately for the state allowance, as this benefit (state allowance) is requested simultaneously with the child raising allowance.
