Around 634,000 households will receive energy compensations for November. Of these, over 237,000 will benefit from the maximum compensation of 800 lei. The beneficiaries are to be notified on Tuesday, in the second part of the day, by SMS. The information will also be available in the personal office on the platform compensatii.gov.md platform. The monetary payments will be transferred to bank cards starting Wednesday. The authorities are also making efforts to make the payments available at post offices on Wednesday, for applicants who do not have a card, IPN reports.
In a press conference, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Alexei Buzu said that the figure of 634,000 families represents 90% of the total number of applicants.
About 396,000 families will collect compensations of 800 lei and the other families will get smaller compensations, starting from 300 lei. The total budget for the payment of compensations for November is approximately 334 million lei.
Alexei Buzu noted that the recipients of compensations in their personal office will be able to access the data used by the information system to determine the size of compensation.
People who submitted applications with the help of social workers should contact these starting Wednesday to find out about the size of compensation.
"I want to make an extremely important clarification – community social workers do not decide on the amount of compensation. They facilitated this process. They worked assiduously during November and will do the same in December, but they are not responsible. They do not have the power to determine the amount of compensation," said the minister.
The authorities have already started to process the payments and the money is expected to be available on bank cards, including social cards, from Wednesday. Particular delays, which could be generated by transfers, are not excluded.
Alexei Buzu said that work is currently being done on a Government decision on the granting of compensations for December, following the increase in gas charges.
