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.

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 pay 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 been disabled (by not paid) to care for the child.
Working grandparents will be able to care for children without restrictions during quarantine
Seimas also agreed to lift restrictions on kindergartens, preschoolers, elementary school children, or grandparents with children under the age of 21 who 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 because, in theory, the father should take care of the child.
If some grandparents have not been paid for inability to care for children during quarantine due to current restrictions, sickness benefits will be awarded retroactively from the beginning of quarantine throughout the period of incapacity for work.

Infected doctors, officers will also receive greater benefits after quarantine
Parliament also approved another amendment that, even after the end of quarantine, but with the continuation of the emergency, doctors, officials, social workers or other professionals infected with coronavirus will receive greater benefits for illness if their work involves unavoidable contact with the illness.
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. from salary to hands.
This amendment is adopted in view of the fact that doctors, officials and other professions may have to contact people infected with coronavirus even after quarantine.
