A temporary financial supplement due to COVID-19 will be given to all those parents whose children are under 16 or suffer from a sever disability by the end of the week. As many parents could not continue working because of schools closing down, the supplement will be given to those parents who are using their unpaid leave in order to help them raise their children.
The Ministry for Solidarity and Social Justice, Family and Children’s rights stated that by Saturday, around 600 families out of a confirmed 732 will be paid said supplement. The expense will be higher than a quarter of a million Euros. Applications are still being filled in, with the amount going over 1,200.
