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

The material support for categories of vulnerable persons aims to compensate part of the food expenses necessary for daily living, by granting social vouchers on electronic support, for the purchase of food products or the provision of hot meals, with the purpose 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 pension houses

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

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

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

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

6. Homeless persons as regulated according to 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 an application–statement on own responsibility, accompanied by a copy of the identity document and supporting documents regarding income obtained from occasional work in the month prior to submitting the application.

Based on the applications and statements on own responsibility submitted, the city hall prepares the centralized situation of persons who meet the conditions for granting support.

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