Additional funds from the budget of the Ministry of Social Affairs will be allocated today by the caretaker government in order to pay the one-time heating allowance of BGN 400 in December.
They apply to 50,000 households that did not receive approval for targeted support.
It is also expected that the municipalities will be allocated funds for preventing, controlling and overcoming the consequences of disasters, as well as for the purchase of school buses, as well as for the repair of schools, kindergartens and nurseries.
The cabinet will also approve compensation for parents' expenses from September 15 to October 31 for the upbringing and education of children not admitted to state or municipal kindergartens due to lack of available places.
