National
Social vouchers for kindergarten are granted within a national interest program aimed at increasing access to education by encouraging participation in preschool education for children from disadvantaged families, the method for identifying beneficiaries being established by decision of the Local Council.
The beneficiary of the incentive is the child, and the holder of the social voucher for kindergarten is the family representative or, as the case may be, the legal representative of the child.
The right to the incentive is granted starting from the month in which the beneficiary meets the eligibility criteria and is granted monthly during the period the child participates in activities organized within preschool education units, from September to June.
The financing for the granting of social vouchers is provided from the state budget through amounts broken down from value-added tax, allocated to local budgets for this specific purpose.
Social vouchers are issued only by units authorized by the Ministry of Public Finance. The operating authorization is granted according to criteria established by the MFP, through order of the minister.
The holder can use the social voucher for kindergarten within its validity period, only for the purchase of food products, hygiene products, clothing and/or school supplies, exclusively from economic operators who sell the products provided by law and with whom the issuing unit has entered into specific social voucher sector service contracts.
The holder is prohibited from:
a) requesting and/or receiving change for the social voucher for kindergarten, in case the value of requested products is lower than the nominal value of the voucher;
b) selling the social vouchers for kindergarten in exchange for money and/or other goods and/or services;
c) using the social vouchers for kindergarten in stores, locations, units, markets of any kind that do not sell food products, hygiene products, clothing and/or school supplies and do not display at the entrance the special stickers of the issuing unit;
d) using the social vouchers for kindergarten for the purchase of products other than food, hygiene products, clothing and/or school supplies.
