Starting today, the provisions of Law no. 192/2018 for amending and completing the Law no. 416/2001 on the Minimum Guaranteed Income, come into force.

Legislative changes are tightening the conditions for granting social assistance in the way that simply refusing to take up a job or refusing to participate in the services that stimulate employment and training provided by the territorial employment agencies lead to the termination of the right to social assistance. Until the entry into force of Law no. 192/2018, socially assisted persons could repeatedly refuse a job, without losing the right to social assistance.

At the same time, for the purpose of capitalizing on the local labor force, for the first time, the mayors are obliged to draw up the “seasonal activity plan on the basis of requests from legal persons, authorized individuals, individual enterprises or family enterprises in need of labor and operate within the administrative-territorial unit ” who become work beneficiaries.

People who are able to work inside the families that receive social assistance and refuse twice to carry out these seasonal activities lose the right to be socially assisted.
The remuneration of the seasonal activities carried out by the beneficiaries of the work is established by direct negotiation between the beneficiary of the works and the person carrying out the activity, under the conditions of Law no. 52/2011 on the performance of occasional activities performed by the employees, republished, with the subsequent amendments and completions.

The legislative provisions mentioned above are in force on 22.10.2018. To update the information please contact us.
