The current interim government has proposed that benefits be suspended as soon as the quarantine or an emergency ends.
However, Monika Navickienė, Mindaugas Lingė, Monika Ošmianskienė, Justas Džiugelis and Audrius Petrošius, who already belong to the new ruling majority, proposed to improve the Government’s project and establish that the benefit will be paid one month after the end of the quarantine.
117 members of the Seimas voted in favor of these amendments to the law, with 2 abstentions.
As during the first quarantine, the benefit is granted to the self-employed registered with the Employment Service who meet all the specified conditions, according to Sodra.
One of these conditions is that self-employment has been registered for at least 3 months in the last year and has not been canceled until the date of declaration of the emergency and quarantine.
A benefit is granted and paid to a self-employed person, regardless of the number of self-employed activities. The benefit is also available to people exempt from social security contributions: pensioners, disabled people who have started their activity for the first time.
A flat-rate benefit of 257 euros is offered for eligible self-employed: owners of sole proprietorships; members of small communities; full members of general partnerships and limited partnerships; people engaged in individual activities (lawyers, legal assistants, notaries, bailiffs and others); business licensees (including people who rent premises); farmers and their partners with a farm of 4 ESU or more; members of the family; people who receive income under copyright agreements or income from sports and artist activities and who are not in a working relationship at the same time.
