THEY APPROVED THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HEATING OF BGN 300 ONE-TIME

"The Council of Ministers adopted a decree providing additional financial assistance to individuals and families who do not meet the conditions for energy assistance under the Energy Assistance Program."

This was said at a briefing after a meeting of the Council of Ministers by the Minister of Labor and Social Policy Galab Donev.

"We are expanding the circle of those persons who by up to BGN 30 exceed the threshold of the required minimum for applying for monthly aid for energy support during the autumn-winter season. We are also expanding the circle for persons who are registered in the labor offices less than 6 months, to be able to receive this targeted financial support of BGN 300 once for the upcoming heating season," he said.

According to him, such assistance will be provided to all people with disabilities who have more than 50% disability, single elderly people, single mothers and all risk groups. For this purpose, BGN 15 million have been allocated from the budget.
