Emergency Ordinance 63/2022 aims to introduce temporary measures, consisting of the provision, until 31.12.2023, of material support for certain categories of vulnerable persons, as provided in this ordinance.

The material support for categories of vulnerable persons is intended to compensate part of the food expenses for ensuring daily subsistence, by granting social vouchers on electronic support, for the purchase of food products or provision of hot meals, with the aim of protection against the risk of material deprivation and the risk of extreme poverty.

Categories of beneficiaries

1. Pensioners of the public pension system registered with the pension offices

2. Persons – children and adults – classified with severe, accentuated, or medium handicap whose incomes are less than or equal to 1500 lei.

3. Families with at least two dependent children whose monthly net income per family member is less than or equal to 600 lei.

4. Single-parent families whose monthly net income per family member is less than or equal to 600 lei.

5. Families who have established the right to social assistance, under the conditions of Law 416/2001.

6. Homeless persons as regulated by the legal provisions in force.

Granting the electronic social voucher
The electronic social voucher for food/hot meal for homeless persons is granted based on a request-declaration on own responsibility, accompanied by a copy of the identity document and supporting documents regarding income earned from occasional work in the month preceding the submission of the request.

Based on the requests and statements on own responsibility submitted, the town hall draws up a centralized list of the persons meeting the support granting conditions.

The centralized list is sent in electronic format by the 5th day of the month to the County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection, which centralizes the situations at county level within a maximum of two days and sends them to the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection at the national level.
