Târgu Mureș, 07.06.2024
Monthly allowances for severely disabled adults and children increased from this month, and personal assistants' pay and attendant's allowance for severely disabled people increased from 1 July
The monthly allowances for the severely disabled adult and the severely disabled child have been increased starting with the entitlements for June 2024, which will be paid in July, according to GEO no. 50 of 23 May 2024 amending Art. 58 para. (4) and (5) of Law No 448/2006 on the protection and promotion of the rights of disabled persons.
Basically, the social allowance will increase by 66 lei, the second increase in this income since the beginning of the year.
More specifically, from June onwards, these entitlements will be calculated as follows:
- For the severely disabled adult, the monthly allowance will increase from 70% to 80% of the social reference indicator (ISR), i.e. from 463 lei to 529 lei; in January it was 419 lei, so there will be an increase of 110 lei in the first six months of the year;
- For the severely disabled child, the monthly allowance will increase from 60% to 70% of the social reference indicator (ISR), i.e. from 397 lei as it is now, to 463 lei. In January it was 359 lei, so the increase for the first six months of the year will be 104 lei.
This measure was taken in view of the costs of the services and treatments on which these people are dependent and the fact that this social group is unable to earn an income from work.
At the same time, according to the Government Decision no. 598 of 06.06.2024, the minimum wage will increase to 3,700 lei gross from 1 July. This means that the allowances for carers for people with serious disabilities granted by the Social Assistance Department of Targu Mures will also be increased, along with the salaries of personal assistants, which will be granted according to the value of the minimum wage.
