Special law. Changes in benefits and rulings

A draft law has emerged, laboriously called the "anti-crisis shield." Recall that the JiM Foundation had requested, among other things, that the issuance of disability certificates be streamlined, and that benefits be granted to caregivers of disabled people and children over the age of 8.

In the March 21 bill, the government plans to:

Regarding supplementary care allowance:

  • The right to supplementary care allowance, for an insured person who is released from work due to the need to care for a child with a certificate of disability or a certificate of severe or moderate disability up to the age of 18.
  • Entitlement to an additional care allowance, for an insured person who is released from work due to the need to care for an adult with a disability. This benefit will be available in the event of the closure of a school, revalidation center, support center, occupational therapy workshop or other day care facility (e.g., a day care center) due to a coronavirus outbreak.

Regarding the validity of disability certificates or the degree of disability:

  • A certificate of disability or a certificate on the degree of disability, issued for a limited period of time, whose validity expires within 30 days from the date of entry into force of the so-called "speculative coronavirus" (on March 3, 2020) remains valid for a further 90 days from the date of expiration of this certificate.
  • if an application is filed for a further certificate confirming disability or degree of disability within 30 days before the date of entry into force of the so-called "speculative coronavirus law" (March 3, 2020), the certificate of disability or certificate of degree of disability remains valid for a further 90 days from the date of expiration of the certificate.
  • A certificate of disability or a certificate on the degree of disability, issued for a limited period of time, which expires after February 6, 2020, shall remain valid until the 60th day from the date of revocation of the epidemic emergency, and in the case of the declaration of an epidemic emergency- until the 60th day from the date of its revocation.

In the field of adjudication of disability or degree of disability during the meetings of the Teams:

  • a certificate of disability or a certificate on the degree of disability may be issued without a direct examination of the state of health of the person in relation to whom it is to be issued, when the doctor - the chairman of the adjudicating panel of the district or provincial team for disability evaluation considers that the documentation attached to the application is sufficient to issue a certificate.

In terms of rulings on indications for relief and entitlements:

  • a certificate on indications for relief and entitlements may be issued without a direct examination of the health of the person for whom it is to be issued, when a physician member of the district disability assessment team considers that the documentation attached to the application is sufficient to issue a certificate.

In terms of Parking Cards:

  • in connection with the preservation of validity of certificates of disability or certificates of the degree of disability, parking cards, shall remain valid until the 60th day from the date of cancellation of the epidemic emergency, and in the case of the declaration of an epidemic emergency- until the 60th day from the date of its cancellation.

Regarding the right to social assistance benefits

  • If a decision granting a social assistance benefit has been issued in connection with a disability confirmed by a certificate and the period for which assistance has been granted depends on the validity of the certificate, the period indicated in the decision shall be extended for the period for which the disability certificate or certificate on the degree of disability remains valid.

The parliament will take up the bill on Friday, March 27.
