The same amounts with last March will receive all families of the A21 child allowance at the end of March, since it has certainly not changed anything dramatically in their income. The long -awaited increase in this allowance as well as other basic OPECA benefits has entered the ice, as it will be accompanied by a series of “cutters”, who are estimated to “throw” thousands of beneficiaries out of subsidies. The government staff “weighs” the data so that the benefits are not lost by some who really need it.

So the “ice” has entered the benefits of benefits Child, rent and minimum guaranteed income And it has not yet been clarified when they are adopted (ed: there is an estimate that this will be done by the end of the first year of the current year) if they will be given retroactively from January 1, 2025 or the first month after the publication In the Government Gazette of the relevant decisions.

Which benefits are growing and where ‘cutters’

But as mentioned above, a total plan is made, as the resulting increases will probably be seen by fewer beneficiaries in their bank accounts.

And this is because “cutters” are adopted by tightening the aid criteria, while they are in the “beans” and the so -called ‘National Register of Social Beneficiaries’.

Increases in some benefits will be important for those who are certainly not missing…

In particular, at 250 euros (from 216 euros) the Minimum Guaranteed Income Like the surcharge for each child to 75 euros (versus 50 euros), while the income criteria for granting it are increased proportionately.

The housing allowance Of the 70 euros, it will be € 125 and 75 euros, depending on the income scale, and a mobile criterion will also apply.

In terms of A21 child allowancebeneficiaries belonging to the 1st scale will see to rise to 75 euros (to 150 euros for the third child and the following), while the beneficiaries of the 3rd income scale of 28 euros per child will receive 45 euros per child (and 90 euro for the third child and the following).

However, in order to determine the beneficiary of each allowance, for the first time they are introduced ‘Cutters’: In terms of child allowance, it is determined for a family with two children value of real estate at 220,000 euros, while for cars the threshold will be put into IX above 1,600 cubic (perhaps larger cubicism), including the age of age and the number of children.

How will the new national register work

The change of scenery for granting benefits will contribute in addition to establishing more criteria for granting the various financial aid and creation ‘National Register of Beneficiaries of Social Benefits’ in which all those who receive aid will be enrolled. This plan is in the “works” by the Ministry of National Economy and Finance.

The goal is – according to the government – to create a single database in which it will seem who gets and what, so that there is a comprehensive supervision and a rationalization of benefits.

Anyone who receives from various sources of benefits that exceed a certain height (eg that of the minimum wage) will see them “clipped”.

A similar central bonus register exists in Great Britain and through it will seek a overall overall for OPECA benefits, the benefits of the Ministry of Labor and for benefits such as heating to find out who gets what and why it gets it.
