Mothers with many children will be paid lifetime benefits

Since January 1, 2016, mothers with three or more children, who have a working experience of 25 or 15 years, will be able to apply for a life-long monthly allowance. This applies to unemployed mothers who have been registered with the Employment Agency for at least 15 years, and this applies to those who raise a child, children with special needs.

Minister of Labor and Social Protection Zoritsa Kovacevic said that there is no such law in any country in the region. According to her, the stimulation of fertility should be in a different form. To pay this allowance, the budget for 2016, allocated 13 million euros. It is not yet known the number of women who will receive this right for a life-long monthly allowance.

Mothers with three or more children, with working experience of 25 or 15 years, will receive a benefit of 70% of the average salary in Montenegro (477 euros), which was on the date when the woman received confirmation of the right to receive this benefit. Thus, the allowance will be 333 euros.
Women with 15 years of working experience, with three or more children, will receive 40% of the average wage.

Along with the application, women must provide documents: a birth certificate of children, proof of work experience, or confirmation of registration with the Employment Agency of Montenegro, and provide evidence that they did not receive the right to a pension.

Director of the Employment Agency of Montenegro Vukica Jelic said that all women registered with the Employment Agency will be able to apply to the Center for Social Work, and then the Agency will deliver the necessary documents to the Center.
