Chisinau, 2 December /MOLDPRES/-The acting cabinet today approved the raise of the financial aid for the cold season of the year, from 250 to 315 lei per month. Money will be paid in one single allowance amounting to 1,575 lei for November 2015-March 2016, the government’s communication and media relations department has reported.

The decision follows the increase in energy tariffs and is meant to back low-income families. The draft law on the State Budget for 2015 the Moldovan parliament had recently approved, provides for the financial means needed to enforce this government decision.

To benefit from social aid during the cold season of the year, low-income families must submit a request at the local departments for social assistance and family protection.

Money will be calculated retroactively for beneficiaries who applied before November 2015. Those who applied after November 2015 will receive payments for the subsequent months.
