The guaranteed minimum income is a benefit granted to individuals or families in difficulty whose incomes are insufficient to cover the minimum living needs, assessed through social investigation as well as other specific instruments.

This benefit is granted monthly, as a supplement to the net monthly income of the family or single person, to ensure the guaranteed minimum income. The payment of social assistance is ensured by the Caraș-Severin County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection, from the budget of the Ministry of Labor and Social Justice.

For the amounts granted as social assistance, one of the employable persons in the family is required to perform monthly actions or works of local interest, without exceeding the normal working schedule. Failure to fulfill this obligation leads to the suspension of the guaranteed minimum income, and if within 3 months from the date of suspension this obligation is not fulfilled, the payment of social assistance is terminated.
