A big change with the documents for pensions, benefits and benefits. The administrative burden falls and everyone is happy.
Already in the second half of the year, businesses and people in Bulgaria are expected to feel the effects of the reduction in the administrative burden – fewer required documents and shortening of the deadlines for the performance of certain services. Deputy Minister of Economy and Industry Ivaylo Shotev said this in an interview with BTA.
He was asked for a comment in connection with the Draft Decision of the Council of Ministers on the Adoption of a Plan for Reducing the Administrative Burden published for public discussion. The Ministry of Economy, together with a number of other departments, is engaged in the implementation of normative changes in more than seven laws, which aim to simplify the communication of businesses and citizens with the administration.
The philosophy of the changes is aimed at dropping some required documents, and when they are available in the administration, they should not be required additionally by companies and people using a certain type of service, but should be procured in an official way, and a reduction of certain administrative deadlines, said Deputy Minister Shotev. Among the documents that will be procured by official or electronic means are those proving legal capacity, employment relationship, information on the presence or absence of charges, copies of sketches, cadastral data.
Pensions and cash benefits from a deceased person will be able to be taken without an heir certificate from April. This relief will be a fact, because from March 31, 2024, the change in the Electronic Government Act will come into force. According to her, people will no longer carry identification documents that are available in registries and can be procured through official channels.
For this reason, changes to the Ordinance on cash benefits and state social insurance benefits have also been uploaded for public discussion.
According to the impact assessment at the end of last year, 1,397,862 are the heirs of the deceased entitled to monetary compensation or assistance. In this way, the administrative burden will be reduced, both for them and for the National Insurance Institute (NII).
Another cosmetic change will be made to the Labor Code and the benefit for a “small child” will now be called “for a child up to 2 years of age”. The right of the father (adoptive parent) to financial compensation for raising a child up to the age of 8 will be explicitly written down in the regulation.
Fewer documents will also be needed for the granting and payment of guaranteed claims in the event of the employer’s bankruptcy. Last year, 1,005 people were entitled to this. The change is spelled out in the Ordinance on the order and manner of informing employees and granting and paying guaranteed claims in the event of the employer’s bankruptcy.
The requirement to attach a copy of the court decision for the opening of bankruptcy proceedings to the findings protocol for an inspection carried out by the control bodies of the National Insurance Institute is removed. The requirement for the application – a declaration to attach a reference to the amount of the accrued but unpaid labor remunerations and monetary benefits owed by the employer, as well as the objections submitted to the employer for the specified amounts in the reference, is also abolished. If the employee is deceased, his heirs do not need to submit a succession certificate. The requirement to submit an expert decision to TELC/NELC for reduced working capacity of 50 and over 50% is also removed.
