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

Material support for categories of vulnerable persons is intended to compensate part of the expenses for food to ensure daily living, by granting social vouchers on electronic support for purchasing food products or providing hot meals, in order to protect against the risk of material deprivation and the risk of extreme poverty.

Categories of beneficiaries:

1.Pensioners of the public pension system registered in the pension offices

2.Persons – children and adults – classified as having severe, pronounced, or medium disabilities whose incomes are less than or equal to 1500 lei.

3.Families with at least two children in care 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 that have established the right to social assistance, under the conditions of Law 416/2001.

6.Homeless persons as regulated under the legal provisions in force.

Granting of the electronic social voucher

The electronic social voucher for food/hot meals for homeless persons is granted based on an application-declaration on one's own responsibility, accompanied by a copy of the identity document and supporting documents regarding income from occasional work in the month prior to submitting the application.

Based on the applications and declarations submitted, the town hall prepares a centralized record of persons who meet the conditions for granting support.

The centralized record is sent electronically by the 5th of the month to the County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection which centralizes the records at the county level within two days and sends them to the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection at the national level.
