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 turned 18 years old, who are attending high school or vocational education organized according to the law, until their completion.
Children of foreign citizens and stateless persons who are residents in Romania, under the law, also benefit from the state allowance for children if they live together with their parents.
Each month, between the 1st and 25th, parents with domicile/residence in the municipality of Rm. Vâlcea, may apply for the granting of state allowance. The same right may also be claimed by the guardian, the person who has the child in foster care or to whom the child has been entrusted for adoption, or the maternal assistant.
The child's parents, together, or only the single parent (if affiliation is established with only one parent/the domicile of the minor is established by court decision with one parent/the other parent is deceased, missing, deprived of parental rights, or placed under interdiction) shall submit – between the 1st and 25th of the month – the following documents:
1. For children born in Romania or other states, except for European Union states:
- standard application form Annex 1 – form standardized by law;
- copy of parents' ID;
- copy of child's birth certificate;
- other documents, as applicable, showing the child's legal situation:
-court decision/divorce agreement establishing the child’s domicile;
-court decision granting custody for adoption;
-court decision approving the adoption;
-court decision or, as appropriate, decision of the child protection committee for special protection measure of foster care;
-decision of the general director/executive director of the general directorate for social assistance and child protection or, as appropriate, court decision for the special protection measure of emergency placement;
-court decision for the establishment of guardianship / delegation of parental rights;
-decision of the guardianship authority for the establishment of curatorship;
-death certificate of one of the parents;
-other documents, at the request of the DAS;
-bank statement (if applicable).
In the case of a single person with children in care under 18 years old, the legal representative is the minor's parent, if the parent has full legal capacity. If the minor parent does not have full legal capacity, they must be accompanied by one of their parents when applying for the state allowance.
2. For children born in the Member States of the European Union, the procedure is similar to those born in Romania, specifying that the standard form used is Annex 2 – form standardized by law and the following additional documents are required:
- copies of residence documents (including the insurance number) for those who have residence abroad (regardless of whether they work there or not);
- as applicable, the document issued by foreign authorities stating whether (and for what period) child allowance was received, or not, for the child in question.
