GRANTING OF MINIMUM INCLUSION INCOME

Procedure description

The minimum inclusion income represents the financial support provided by the state in order to ensure the minimum standard of living for the prevention of poverty risk and has two components:

- Inclusion support

- Support for families with children

The establishment of the right to minimum inclusion income consists in the analysis of the application and the documents submitted, entry of the request into the VMI micro-application, validation of the information in the application, income verification, home visit to the applicant to confirm the accuracy of the information stated in the application, performing the field verification sheet for checking the data provided by the beneficiary, drawing up the synthesis report, preparation of the intervention plan, drawing up the grant note for the minimum inclusion income in view of issuing the mayor's order and granting the rights provided by law to the beneficiaries.

According to Law no. 196/2016 regarding the minimum inclusion income, individual persons and families in difficulty who meet the granting conditions according to law and have domicile/residence within Sibiu municipality may benefit from minimum inclusion income.

What are the conditions for granting VMI?

To benefit from the minimum inclusion income, interested persons must meet the following general conditions:

ü Not to have sufficient income to ensure a minimum standard of living.

ü For individuals/families up to 65 years old who obtain a net adjusted income less than or equal to the maximum level established by law, namely 346 lei.

ü For single individuals at least 65 years old who obtain a net adjusted income less than or equal to the maximum level established by law, namely 504 lei.

ü To obtain monthly adjusted net income up to 880 lei, to grant support for families with children.

ü To complete the application for the minimum inclusion income and to provide supporting documents.

ü The application will be analyzed by DAS Sibiu representatives to verify fulfillment of the granting conditions for VMI. Document verification will be carried out, and depending on the case, the field verification sheet is drawn up at the declared domicile/residence/home.

ü The granting of VMI must be approved by the mayor's order.

To benefit from inclusion support, at least one able-bodied adult member of the family has the obligation to perform monthly actions or works of local interest, respecting the normal working hours and occupational health and safety rules. Failure to fulfill the obligation to perform activities or works of local interest leads to the suspension of payment of the inclusion support for a maximum period of 3 months and, respectively, to the termination of payment if the obligation is not met during the suspension period as well.

Families and single persons who own at least one of the goods listed below are not eligible for minimum inclusion income.
