Social assistance is granted monthly, to supplement the monthly net income of the family or single person, to ensure the guaranteed minimum income. The payment of social assistance is provided by the County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection Galați, from the budget of the Ministry of Labor and Social Justice. For the amounts granted as social assistance, one of the adult family members must perform monthly actions or works of local interest for all family members, without exceeding the normal work schedule; failure to fulfill this obligation results in the suspension of social assistance payment, and if this obligation is not fulfilled within three months of the suspension, the payment of social assistance ceases.
