Do I have the right to social assistance if I am officially employed?
Answer from a legal consultant:
The amount of state social assistance is determined as the difference between the subsistence minimum for a family and its average monthly total income.
The average monthly total income is calculated by dividing the total combined income of the individuals for a specified period by 6 months. These six months represent two quarters preceding the month that comes before the month of applying for assistance (for persons whose eligibility for assistance is being determined).
When calculating social assistance, you must provide a certificate from your workplace confirming your income for the last 6 months.
