Submitters: Aleš Juchelka

Summary

The law technically regulates the related regulations to the new state social assistance benefit. It explicitly provides that the state social assistance benefit is not counted as income for the purposes of the subsistence minimum. It also postpones the entry into force of the already approved changes: the new minimum amount to 1 July 2026 and the changes in the scope of countable income to 1 June 2028. The aim is to simplify administration and ensure smooth implementation without impact on benefit recipients.
