If the Cabinet of Ministers approves the proposal, it will return to Seimas for further consideration.
The head of state proposes that a lump sum of 200 euros be paid to children from low-income and large families, as well as children with disabilities, and a lump sum of 120 euros to all other children by July.
“The proposal will require 72 million. The Minister of Social Security and Labor, Linas Kukuraitis, said at the meeting.

The Government proposed that Seimas review the project so that the right to a lump sum is linked not only to the granting of the benefit, but also to the right to it. The goal is to ensure that the benefit is available to all eligible children this year, including those born in late 2020.
G. Nausėda’s representatives, presenting the proposal last week, stated that the situation and well-being of families raising children is particularly sensitive to income fluctuations, therefore this group of society needs help. The President proposes that the lump sum be paid no later than July.

The project is expected to return to the Seimas Chamber in June.
The President has also proposed a reduction in the Personal Income Tax (PIT) rate from 20 to 15 percent. and before increasing the Non Taxable Income (NPD) to € 50.
Governors promise to support the NPD proposal, but intend to avoid a reduction in the GPM rate, arguing that the initiative is not socially fair.
