The proposals of both GERB and MRF were approved at second reading
Deputies Slavi Trifonov and Maya Manolova voted against the amendment
The minimum becomes 370 leva
Retirees will receive a double supplement to their pensions by the end of the year. This was accepted by the deputies, who surprisingly approved both proposals – of GERB and MRF, when voting on the second reading of the update of the budget of the State Social Security. GERB’s proposal envisages pensioners to receive BGN 100 for the last three months of this year, and that of the MRF – the amount to be BGN 120 for the same period. Deputies explained to “Trud” that this proposal will be accepted, which has gathered more votes in the voting in the hall.
Both changes were previously rejected in the budget committee, but received support in the hall, which completely confused Slavi Trifonov’s people in parliament. That is why the MP from “They have such a people” Lyubomir Karimanski urgently asked for a 15-minute break, and then Maria Capon from “Stand up BG! We are coming, ”he insisted on even stopping the vote on the budget update and even threatened that the adopted proposals would blow up the country’s financial framework. There is no way for the supplement to the pensions to lead to a financial collapse, because this is not a long-term expense, MRF MP Yordan Tsonev answered. The Minister of Finance, Asen Vassilev, also intervened in the dispute, deciding to come to the hall during the vote on the budget update requested by the caretaker government. “Why don’t you listen to your experts who voted on a budget committee?” Listen to them, “Vassilev said. “We listen to the experts, not the bodybuilder,” Yordan Tsonev of the MRF replied. “The whole planning for the revenue part of the budget is a mistake. Since I have only 2 minutes, I do not have time to explain it to you, Mr. Vassilev “, said Tsonev, and reminded that the protest parties could not form a government for the second time.
The deputies continued with the voting and accepted the proposal of the Council of Ministers to recalculate all pensions through the coefficient for a year of service of 1.35, as well as increase the minimum pension from October 1 from BGN 300 to BGN 370 and the maximum pension to BGN 1,500. pensions must be taken from a regular cabinet, former social minister Denitsa Sacheva explained from the rostrum. Without a 3-year forecast and without a budget for 2022, long-term decisions should not be made, added former Finance Minister Kiril Ananiev.
According to MRF MP Hassan Ademov, the proposed update of pensions with the coefficient for a year of service creates myths. One of them, spread by Finance Minister Asen Vassilev, is that after they are raised, there will be no people to receive money below the poverty line. This is not true, because the people who receive non-employment pensions, which are about 61,000 people, remain under it, Ademov was categorical.
The deputies extended their working hours until the adoption of the update of the budget of the Social Security and the budget of the National Health Insurance Fund.
Must have 12 months of experience
BGN 650 is motherhood in the second year
Until now, they received BGN 380.
Mothers will receive BGN 650 in the second year of caring for their child.
The benefit for raising a child up to the age of 2 is increased from the current BGN 380 to BGN 650, the deputies voted at the adoption of the second reading of the update of the budget of the State Social Security.
Toshko Yordanov from the “There is such a people” party spoke out against the increase, explaining that the state should stimulate working mothers, and not leave the labor market for too long.
Mothers who were insured for general illness and maternity at the beginning of the leave are entitled to cash benefits for raising a child up to 2 years of age. In addition, they must have at least 12 months of insurance experience, which may be intermittent or uninterrupted and need not have been taken immediately before taking maternity leave or with the same employer.
