Agreed upon: adaptation grants for people aged 67 and over will continue for three months

Under these agreements, adaptation grants for people aged 67 and over will continue for three months, in an outline where they will drop in the first month to a rate of 90%, in the second month to 80% and in the last month they will drop to 70% of current grants.

Under the agreements with the Treasury, it was further stipulated that mothers in the corona period would be entitled to a maternity benefit equal to the last wage they received (instead of the unemployment benefit they received before the change introduced by the committee), which would result in significantly higher maternity benefits for these women.
For citizens with disabilities - a wage subsidy was agreed through the labor arm, at a rate of 20% for ten months, when as soon as a person with a disability enters the labor force, the employer can apply for a wage subsidy. Applications can be submitted from August and payment will be retroactive from July.

In addition to these agreements, an agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the National Insurance Institute stipulates that the return to work grant, which was supposed to end tomorrow, at the end of June, will be extended by one month and employees will be able to absorb and enjoy this grant until July 31. People who have already been included in the work grant will be entitled to payment for another month as part of this grant - that is, another pulse. In addition, an extension was set until the end of the year for the amendment, which stipulates that a woman may not be fired after giving birth for a period of 60 days after she returns from sick leave, while the amendment was supposed to end at the end of the month.
