From October 2025, the minimum subsistence amounts will increase – for example, for an individual, it will rise from CZK 4,860 to CZK 5,500. The change will not only affect material hardship assistance itself, but will also expand the range of people who will now be eligible for child benefit, childbirth allowance or housing benefit.
The increase in the minimum subsistence level will also affect other situations – for example, the amount of the non-forfeitable amount for debtors or the assessment of income when applying for a loan. Conversely, the amount for the second adult in the household will decrease. In addition, in the future, the living wage will also be affected by a new ‘super benefit’, which will replace the four existing benefits from 2026.
