“If two children do not go to the preschool institution, it is possible that both parents will not be able to care for those children at home,” Minister of Social Security and Labor Monika Navickien reunión said on Monday after the meeting of the Commission of Government emergency.
The Minister reiterated that childcare or nursing is not included in the maximum number of paid sick days.
“It just came to our attention then. We stressed that it does not exist,” said M. Navickienė.
The Ministry of Social Security has specified that the parents of primary school children will also receive the benefit. According to the ministry, if parents do not reconcile housework and childcare, or if parents decide not to send the child to an educational institution, they will be able to care for the child at home and receive sickness benefit from the beginning of January. . Not only parents or guardians, but also working grandparents will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
After winter break, elementary school children will be taught remotely, so parents who cannot combine work and childcare can apply for and receive a certificate of incapacity for work and sickness benefit.
Ms Navickienė reiterated that the disability benefit will be paid for 14 days, but if it is considered that the payment period of the benefit should be extended, it will be discussed.
“If it is quarantine, then, as much as necessary, the incapacity to work will be granted,” added Julita Varanauskienė, director of Sodra.
