SAN MARINO – The form to request the single woman bonus and the resolution relating to discounts on nursery school fees are being developed. This was communicated by the San Marino Workers’ Union (USL), just over a month after the approval of the Family Law, which introduced new protections for parents.
The trade union organization reports that numerous families are asking for information on concrete ways to access the benefits provided by Law no. 141. Among the measures introduced, the possibility of absenting oneself from work due to the illness of one’s children without giving up one’s salary is mentioned.
As regards the “bonus for single pregnant women and single-parent families”, the expected contribution is 50 euros per month, to be paid in a single payment by the end of December through the Smac Card. The benefit is reserved for single-parent families with at least one minor child who is not yet attending primary school.
The resolution on concessions for nursery school fees is expected in the next few weeks. Once defined, families will receive communication directly from the schools.
USL underlines that, although these are small contributions, these measures represent support for families in a phase characterized by economic uncertainties and an increase in the cost of living. The union draws attention in particular to the increase in bills and the difficulty, even for those who work, of peacefully making it to the end of the month.
On the social tariff front, the organization also highlights the possibility that the number of beneficiaries will increase compared to last year, also thanks to the ability to deduct the amount of rent paid and mortgage interest from income, up to a maximum of 4,000 euros. The actual scope of the measure will be verifiable at the end of the checks, based on the available data.
The USL staff remains available to families to provide information and assistance in submitting applications to access benefits.
