WHAT CHILD BENEFITS WILL BE GRANTED IN 2021?
Families with one child will receive BGN 40 per month, or a total of BGN 480 per year of support from 2021. In 2021, childcare allowances until the completion of their secondary education will be given regardless of the parents' income.
However, the measure will be temporary and will be implemented only next year, it is clear from the draft budget for 2021, which has been released for public discussion.
Families with two children will receive BGN 90 per month, with three children - BGN 135, with four - BGN 145, and for each subsequent one the aid increases by BGN 20.
However, in order to receive the money, the parents must submit an application-declaration to the social assistance services. If the document is not submitted, the aid will not be paid. This also applies to the aid for first and eighth graders, which is increased to BGN 300 and will be paid twice - for the first and second term.
What exactly will be the order remains to be seen. Currently, the assistance is received if the parents submit a declaration to the social assistance agency at the current address.
Parents who live permanently and raise their children in Bulgaria receive monthly allowances for raising children until the completion of secondary education, but not more than 20 years of age. The children attend the classes regularly and have all the obligatory immunizations and prophylactic examinations.
No matter what the income of the parents, in 2021 they will give BGN 300 each for the children who start first or eighth grade. This assistance will not be temporary, but is expected to be valid in the coming years. The budget for 2021 will increase the monthly allowance for raising a child up to one year from BGN 100 to BGN 200, but it will be given only to families with incomes per person below BGN 500 for the last 12 months.
For the fact that all parents will be able to receive benefits for raising their children, for the benefits for children from the first and eighth grade, as well as for the higher amounts for children up to one year, the budget for 2021 provides an additional 390 million BGN.
