Entry into force of the legislation introducing an additional benefit for disabled and elderly single persons

In May 2021, the Lithuanian Parliament approved the Law on Single Person Benefit. The Law, which entered into force in July 2021, granted single disabled and elderly persons an additional monthly benefit, reducing the risk of poverty and social exclusion in one of the most vulnerable groups of the society.

More information can be found on the webpages of the Lithuanian Parliament and the Ministry of Social Security and Labour (both in Lithuanian).
