ANPIS Begins Payments for Child Allowances and Benefits from 8 September

The National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection (ANPIS) will begin paying social assistance benefits for August on 8 September. The amounts will be transferred in stages, with the full schedule running through to 21 September, depending on the type of benefit and the payment method chosen by each recipient.

The general rule: those who receive payments directly into a bank account will be paid earlier, whilst payments by postal order reach recipients a few days later.

From 8 September: child allowances and indemnities

On 8 September, state child allowances, child-rearing indemnities, and reintegration incentives will be credited to bank accounts. For recipients who receive payments by post, distribution begins on 10 September. These payments are awaited monthly, particularly by families with children, for whom they represent a significant portion of the monthly budget.

From 14 September: rights of persons with disabilities

Amounts for persons with disabilities will be transferred to accounts on 14 September, whilst for those who opt for payment by post, distribution begins on 18 September.

On 21 September: the final payment stage

Several categories of payments are scheduled for 21 September: the placement allowance, the monthly food allowance for persons with HIV/AIDS, and the monthly food indemnity for tuberculosis patients. Also payable on this date are entitlements under the minimum inclusion income, which comprises the allowance for families with children and the inclusion assistance payment. For these categories, payment is made both by bank transfer and by postal order.

Nearly seven million beneficiaries each month

ANPIS processes these payments monthly through its 41 county agencies and the agency for the municipality of Bucharest, administering multiple forms of support for children, families, and vulnerable individuals. In total, nearly seven million people receive these allowances and benefits each month, with each category having its own separately established payment schedule.
