ANOTHER BGN 100 MILLION HAVE BEEN APPROVED UNDER THE MEASURE " KEEP ME +"

The government approved additional expenditures amounting to BGN 100m from the budget of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. The funds will be used under the measure "Keep me +" for the payment of compensation to employees and self-employed persons in the economic activities temporarily closed by an act of a state body due to Covid.

They will be entitled to receive funds in the amount of 75% of their insurance income for July 2021 for the days during which they used unpaid leave due to the imposed restrictions. By allocating the additional financial resource, about 60,000 employees will keep their jobs.
