The state allowance for children is paid to one of the parents based on their agreement or, in case of disagreement, based on the decision of the guardianship authority or the court decision, to the parent to whom the child has been entrusted for upbringing and education.

The modification of the legal representative for receiving the state allowance is done through a standard application addressed to the County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection Braila, accompanied by supporting documents, as the case may be:

- in case of the holder's death - the death certificate presented by the other parent, marriage certificate;

- in case of divorce - the court decision by which the minor/minors are entrusted to the applicant;

- in case of placement - a copy of the placement order issued by the General Directorate for Social Assistance and Child Protection, or the court decision establishing the placement or guardianship to the applicant.

- in case of adoption - the decision to entrust the child for adoption;
