Procedure description

THE MINIMUM INCLUSION INCOME (VMI) represents a social assistance benefit granted to families and single persons in situations of difficulty, for the purpose of preventing and combating poverty and the risk of social exclusion.

The minimum inclusion income (VMI) represents a unique social assistance program, created to help vulnerable individuals and families overcome the financial obstacles they face and improve their lives.

The minimum inclusion income (VMI) is a benefit provided under Law no. 196/2016 regarding the minimum inclusion income and has two components:

2. Support for families with children

Granted to families with dependent children up to the age of 18 and aims to prevent poverty and encourage the active participation of children in education, replacing the family support allowance.
