Accessing social benefits
On this page, you will find infographics outlining the process for Ukrainian refugees in Romania to access various social benefits, including the child allowance and disability status with related support. This is based on the key legal provision—Romania’s Emergency Ordinance 96/2024—which extends these rights to Ukrainian refugees.
