Starting from October 2023, the monthly amount of the childcare vouchers increases from 600 to 620 lei.
Childcare vouchers are an extra-salary benefit that employers can offer to their employees for paying fees at state or private childcare centres that are affiliated to the childcare voucher system. It is up to employers to decide whether to grant them.
Employees with children up to the age of two, or up to the age of three in the case of disabled children, who are not entitled to parental leave and childcare allowance, may receive childcare vouchers.
Childcare vouchers are given for each child to one parent or guardian only.
Nursery vouchers are not available to professional childminders or persons with whom the child is placed and for whom emergency placement has been arranged.
The amount of the nursery allowance is cumulated with the state child allowance and the integration incentive which is granted when the parent returns to work.
