You have the opportunity to submit an application to the social service of the local government for granting the status of a poor family (person) or for granting the status of a disadvantaged family (person) and to obtain a certified statement of that status. A statement on the status of a poor family (person) is required in order to receive social assistance, social services, benefits and various benefits. A statement regarding the status of a disadvantaged family (person) shall be required in order to receive an apartment allowance, and other benefits, benefits, if such have been determined by the local government. If your family or household has been matched to the status of a poor or low-income family (person), you have the right to request the granting and payment of an apartment allowance in the social service of the local government. An apartment allowance is one of the types of social assistance benefits that the social service of the local government pays for poor or low-income recognised households, regardless of their home. If you or your family have been granted eligibility for the status of a poor or low-income family (person), you have the right to apply for health care benefits in the social service of the local government by submitting supporting documents. The benefit will be paid if the local government's binding rules provide for such type of benefit and to the extent determined by the local government.
