The Seimas adopted an amendment to the Social Security Sickness and Maternity Act. 118 members of the Seimas voted in favor, 7 abstained. It was initiated by the representatives of the “peasants”, the former Minister of Social Security and Labor Linas Kukuraitis and Tomas Tomilinas.
In order to control the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the government has approved in quarantine measures a recommendation to participate in preschool and preschool education programs only for children whose parents do not have the opportunity to work remotely.
MPs have suggested that parents with preschool and preschool age children could receive sickness benefit if they follow the recommendation and are not allowed to attend education. The members of the Seimas argue that the real situation of these parents is analogous to that of the spring quarantine, when educational institutions were closed.
The law stipulates that during quarantine, if the government issues a recommendation to participate in preschool and preschool education programs only for children whose parents do not have the opportunity to work remotely, the parents of a child under the age of eight could receive a sickness benefit.
The sickness benefit for the care of children is 65.94%. of salary “on paper”. It is available to the child’s parents, adoptive parents, guardians, guardians, grandparents insured with social health insurance.
This benefit was available to parents, guardians, etc. who cared for preschool, preschool and elementary-aged children at home during the first quarantine in the spring.
