Under past decisions, elementary students will no longer receive benefits beginning June 8, as their school year ends this week, and for kindergarten, preschool, and special schools students with disabilities, effective of the amendment. The amendment to the law will take effect the day after the president signs it.

Facilitation for parents whose children attend “unregistered kindergartens”
Along with a clear end date for payment of benefits, facilities have also been introduced for parents or guardians who did not receive sickness benefits during the quarantine period due to inability to work, as the child was brought to the called “unregistered kindergartens” before the start of quarantine.
These kindergartens are not registered as education providers in the Registry of Educational and Scientific Institutions, the services are provided in them on the basis of individual activities.
The Seimas agreed that work disability and sickness benefit during quarantine must also belong to the parents or guardians of children who have attended “unregistered kindergartens” or who have spent time with babysitters. It was decided that sickness benefits should be paid for all children through first grade, regardless of who and where they cared for prior to quarantine.
Sodra will provide sickness benefits retroactively from the beginning of quarantine throughout the period of disability for parents or guardians whose children have attended a similar type of “unregistered kindergarten” and who have had unpaid disability for the Childcare.
Working grandparents will be able to care for children without restrictions during quarantine
Seimas also agreed to lift restrictions on grandparents in a kindergarten, preschool, elementary school, or a child with a disability under the age of 21 when they want to care for their grandchildren during quarantine.

However, for example, if the child’s parents are divorced but the father does not want to care for the child, even though he works remotely, the grandmother still cannot receive sickness and sickness benefits, since in theory the father should take care of the child.
If some grandparents’ inability to care for children during quarantine has not been paid due to current restrictions, sickness benefits will be awarded retroactively from the beginning of quarantine throughout the period of incapacity for work.
The sickness benefit for caring for a non-sick child during quarantine is 65.94 percent. of the salary “on paper”. It is available to the child’s parents, adoptive parents, guardians, guardians, grandparents who are insured with social health insurance.
Infected doctors, officers will also receive greater benefits after quarantine

The benefits for illness for members of such professions in case of infection or illness amount to 77.58%. of the salary “on paper” or 100 percent. of the salary “to the hands”.
