## Types of Social Assistance

The Law on Social Assistance regulates an entire catalogue of monetary and non-monetary support. The types of social assistance are: subsistence allowance; reintegration allowance; foster-care remuneration; family-care remuneration for an adult; non-monetary social assistance; and the social package. Knowing this list is the first step of the receipt route — each type has its own conditions and administration procedure.

## Subsistence Allowance

A family is entitled to claim the subsistence allowance — a monetary social assistance intended to improve the socio-economic condition of needy families identified through the assessment system. The assessment system is the instrument for identifying poor families, and precisely its result determines which family becomes a recipient. The amount of the allowance is determined by the Government of Georgia, while the procedure and conditions of its assignment, suspension, renewal and termination are regulated by the Minister's order.

## Reintegration Allowance

A family is likewise entitled to claim the reintegration allowance — a monetary social assistance granted to the biological family or the guardian (carer) of a person in need of special care, who takes that person from a specialized institution to live in a family environment and provides appropriate care. The amount of this allowance is likewise determined by a government act, and the assignment and termination procedure — by the Minister's order.

## The Social Package and Its Grounds

The social package is a monthly monetary benefit and/or a combination of benefits (monetary and non-monetary) whose volume, circle of recipients and delivery procedure are settled by government decree. The grounds for assigning the social package are: the establishment of disability status and the death of the breadwinner. Two gates to the package thus exist, and each of them requires its own supporting materials.
