The deadline for applying for the third design of the measure 60/40 expires

It affects employers wishing to receive funds for the period before January 1, 2021.

Employers who wish to receive funds for the period before 01.01.2021 and meet the conditions of the Council of Ministers Decree № 151/03.07.2020, as amended and ext. with CMD № 278/12.10.2020 (the third design of the measure 60/40), may submit an application and the documents required to it by 17:00 on January 15, 2021, announced by the Employment Agency.

This is regulated in the Council of Ministers Decree № 416 published on Friday to extend the application of measure 60/40 until the end of March 2021.

Employers who have not complied with the deadline and have submitted applications under CMD № 151/2020, as amended and ext. with CMD № 278/2020 after 15.12.2020, can apply again until January 15, 2021, attaching to their application new documents proving a decrease in revenues already for December 2020 and for a comparable previous month or period according to the regulation of the measure.

To the already approved employers under the third design of measure 60/40, the Employment Agency reminds that the payment is made on the basis of a submitted current list of employees for the previous month and a Letter - statement for monthly reporting. The deadline for submission of these documents is January 29, 2021. The specified deadlines for acceptance of application documents and for submission of monthly reporting documents for the previous period are determined in accordance with CMD № 416/30.12.2020 in Transitional and Final Provisions and by Order of the Executive Director of the Employment Agency, according to Art. 4, para 1 and art. 5, para 1 of the Council of Ministers Decree № 151/2020.

The Employment Agency draws attention to the fact that employers must comply with the set deadlines for application (15.01.2021) and for monthly reporting (29.01.2021), as the documents submitted after these dates are not subject to verification and evaluation by the commissions in employment offices.

The Agency recommends both applicants and already approved employers to submit a strict check for completeness and correctness of the data contained in the documents before submitting in order to avoid their repeated request, which is a prerequisite for extending the processing and evaluation period.

Full and detailed information, as well as supporting materials, are published on the website of the Employment Agency in the section "Financial incentives for maintaining employment", where the new application documents for measure 60/40 for the current fourth period will be published - from 1 January to March 31, 2021.
