The Government has supported a proposal by Labour Minister Aleš Juchelka to extend the deadline for recalculating existing benefits into the so-called superdividend by three months. If the change is approved by Parliament and signed by the President, people will receive their current benefits until July and will receive the new superdividend for the first time in August.
On Monday the cabinet approved a proposal to postpone the payment of the superdividend to current recipients of housing benefit, housing supplement, subsistence allowance and child benefits. The aim is to give job centres more time to recalculate the benefit under the new rules. The offices are currently processing over 333,000 applications from existing recipients and tens of thousands of new applications. While the digitisation of the submissions is working, the capacity of the offices is not sufficient to complete the recalculations within the original deadlines, according to the ministry.
If the amendment goes through the legislative process, people will receive their existing benefits by the end of July instead of April. The first payment of superannuation will therefore move from May to August. The proposal also includes a postponement of the increase in the living wage from May to July. At the same time, the ministry announced that it will prepare further possible adjustments to the parameters of the super allowance after the evaluation of data on the functioning of the system in the second half of the year.
