The Government today approved a draft law amending the 2026 State Social Insurance Budget (BASS) Law. Total BASS revenues and expenditures will increase by MDL 1.37 billion, from MDL 51.4 billion to MDL 52.8 billion. The additional resources will ensure that social benefits are paid in full and on time through the end of the year, reports TRIBUNA.

The most important adjustments concern increased spending on the protection of persons with disabilities, support for older persons, family and child protection, and unemployment benefits.

An additional MDL 550 million is also earmarked for measures aimed at reducing energy vulnerability. The draft also includes measures to prevent difficulties in the payment of social benefits and to avoid accumulating arrears to beneficiaries.

“Through this budget revision, we are ensuring that the resources of the State Social Insurance Budget correspond to current needs and that beneficiaries receive their benefits on time and in the amounts provided by law,” said Natalia Plugaru, Minister of Labor and Social Protection.
