In Moldova, starting November 1 and during the state of emergency, assistance for the cold period of the year will be calculated according to an updated formula.
The Emergency Situations Commission approved such a decision, noting that it is done in order to support more low-income families during the cold period of the year in the context of rising prices for heat sources. It was agreed that in deviation from the provisions of the Law on Social Assistance and the Regulation on Establishment and Payment of Social Allowances, starting November 1, 2022 and during the state of emergency, assistance for the cold season will be provided to families whose total average monthly income is above the minimum guaranteed monthly income under the law and below the minimum guaranteed monthly income, increased by 2.6 times. Applications for social assistance registered with representatives of the territorial social assistance structure, starting November 1, will be reviewed automatically, within the automated information system "Social Assistance", which will verify eligibility and make decisions without submitting a new application for social assistance. The amount of assistance for the cold period of the year granted in November-March was 700 lei. // 14.11.2022 - InfoMarket.
