Procedure description
The state allowance for children is granted to all children up to 18 years old, Romanian citizens, as well as to young people who have reached the age of 18, who attend high school or vocational education organized under the law, until its completion.
State allowance for children is also granted to children of foreign citizens, as well as to stateless persons residing in Romania, under the law, if they live with their parents.
Every month, between the 1st and 25th, parents domiciled/resident in the municipality of Rm. Vâlcea, may apply for the state allowance. The same right may also be requested by the guardian, the person who has the child in foster care or who has been entrusted with the child for adoption, or the maternal assistant.
The child's parents, together, or only the single parent (if filiation is established with only one parent/the minor's domicile is established, by court decision, with one parent/the other parent is deceased, declared missing, deprived of parental rights, placed under interdiction) submit the following documents between the 1st and 25th of the month:
1. For children born in Romania or in other states, except the European Union states:
- standard application form Annex 1 – template form by law;
- copy of parents' ID;
- copy of child's birth certificate;
- other documents, as appropriate, showing the child's legal status:
-the court decision/divorce agreement establishing the child's domicile;
-the court decision for entrustment for adoption;
-the court decision approving the adoption;
-the court decision or, as appropriate, the decision of the child protection committee for the special protection measure of foster care;
-the order of the general manager/executive director of the general directorate of social assistance and child protection or, as the case may be, the court decision for the special protection measure of foster care in emergency regime;
-the court decision establishing guardianship / delegating parental rights;
-the guardianship authority's order to establish curatorship;
-the death certificate of one of the parents;
-other documents, at the request of DAS;
-account statement (if applicable).
In the case of a single person who has children in care and has not reached the age of 18, the legal representative is the minor's parent, if he/she has full legal capacity. If the minor parent does not have full legal capacity, when applying for the state allowance, he/she will be accompanied by one of the parents.
2. For children born in European Union states, the procedure is similar to that for those born in Romania, with the mention that the standard application used is Annex 2 – template form by law and the following documents should also be added:
- copies of residence documents (including insurance number) for those residing abroad (regardless if working there or not);
- as applicable, the document issued by foreign authorities indicating whether (and for what period) or not benefits were received as a state allowance for the child in question.
