In Romania, emergency Ordinance No. 111\/2010 on childcare allowance states that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Persons who, in the last 2 years before the child’s birth, have earned at least 12 months of income from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Salaries and similar earnings;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Independent activities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Intellectual property rights;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Agricultural, forestry, and fishery activities;
subject to income tax according to Law No. 227\/2015, benefit from leave for raising a child up to 2 years old (or 3 years in case of a child with disabilities) and a monthly allowance.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe monthly allowance is 85% of the average net income earned in the last 12 months from the 2 years preceding the child’s birth. The minimum allowance cannot be less than the result of applying a coefficient of 25 to the reference social indicator. The maximum allowance cannot exceed 8,500 lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, suppose you earned income in Romania and an EU country within the same month (without overlapping work periods). In that case, the amounts from both countries will be considered when granting the childcare leave and allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Claim Childcare Allowance in Romania While Pregnant and Living in Another EU Country<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t plan to give birth in Romania, you cannot receive the allowance for 2 years (or 3 in case of a child with disabilities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conditions are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- You live in an EU country (UK is no longer eligible due to Brexit);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You\u2019ve been employed for 2 years without interruption (you can work in multiple places but must provide tax records showing you’ve paid taxes);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your most recent work contract, signed and stamped by the company manager or director;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tax record from the country where you worked (e.g., in Ireland, you would use Revenue for downloading your tax forms for the last 2 years);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Employment contract in Romania (you must work at least one month in Romania and pay taxes after returning);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Termination decision when you enter maternity leave;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Childcare allowance application (downloadable online);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Declaration from the other parent (usually the father);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Newborn\u2019s birth certificate;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Declaration regarding data processing at the National Agency for Payments and Social Inspection (AJPIS);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Copies of ID cards (mother and father);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Marriage certificate (if applicable);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Employment certificate (Anexa 2, provided by your accountant);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Employment report from both your Romanian and foreign job;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bank account details for receiving the payment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The employment contract and report from abroad must be translated and legalized in Romanian. All documents should be scanned as originals and sent as a single PDF file to AJPIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips for Maximizing Your Childcare Allowance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Work as long as possible before entering maternity leave in Romania. Maternity leave is paid by your employer but depends on your contract’s conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Find a skilled accountant familiar with the legal norms. Some may not know the specifics!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you’ve worked in different EU countries, you’ll need to contact the financial institutions in those countries to obtain your tax records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The allowance is based on your last year’s salary before maternity leave. Even if you earned 5,000 euros, you won\u2019t receive more than 8,500 lei, but you\u2019ll also receive 719 lei per month in child support, totaling 9,219 lei per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The decision can take 1-3 months. You may receive additional document requests, such as a signed resignation to prove no other income in an EU country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, if you give birth in Bucharest, you may receive a municipal bonus of 2,500 lei per child. This may apply to other Romanian big cities (not in Constanta-where I had Cassandra)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
