Government Emergency Ordinance 63/2022 aims to establish temporary measures, consisting of granting, until 31.12.2023, material support for certain categories of vulnerable persons, as provided for in this ordinance.

The material support for categories of vulnerable persons aims to compensate a part of food expenses to ensure daily living, by granting social vouchers on electronic support, for purchasing food products or for providing hot meals, in order to protect against the risk of material deprivation and the risk of extreme poverty.

Categories of beneficiaries

1. Pensioners of the public pension system registered with the pension houses

2. Persons – children and adults – classified as having severe, accentuated, or medium disabilities whose incomes are less than or equal to 1500 lei.

3. Families with at least two dependent children whose monthly net income per family member is less than or equal to 600 lei.

4. Single-parent families whose monthly net income per family member is less than or equal to 600 lei.

5. Families who have established the right to social aid, under the conditions of law 416/2001.

6. Homeless persons as regulated by the legal provisions in force.

Granting the electronic social voucher
The electronic social voucher for food/hot meal for homeless persons is granted based on an application-declaration on their own responsibility, accompanied by a copy of the identity document and supporting documents regarding income obtained from occasional work in the month preceding the application.

Based on the applications and self-declarations submitted, the city hall draws up the centralized list of persons who meet the conditions for granting support.

The centralized list is sent in electronic format by the 5th of the month to the County Agency for Payments and Social Inspection, which centralizes the situations at the county level within a maximum of two days and sends them to the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection at the national level.
