Undeclared incomes will be counted as 7,500 lei for energy compensation
People with no declared income will automatically be assigned an estimated 7,500 lei a month, which can cut their heating aid.
What it means for you
If you work without a contract and declare little or nothing, the system will count 7,500 lei a month for you. Your aid may be smaller, or you may not qualify. Applications are due by 27 November, on compensatii.gov.md or through a social worker.
What happened
In the 2026-2027 cold season, the state will automatically count a monthly income of 7,500 lei for people who work informally, according to Labour and Social Protection Minister Natalia Plugaru. The sum is higher than the 6,300 lei threshold used in the previous season. The minister says the mechanism stops people from getting more support by not declaring their earnings.
In short
- The 7,500 lei sum is half the average salary in the economy, according to the minister.
- The threshold in the previous season was 6,300 lei.
- Pensioners, students, registered unemployed people and social aid recipients are exempt from the calculation.
- Compensation will range from 500 to 1,000 lei a month, and the first payments are scheduled for mid-December.
- Authorities estimate that 660,000 to 670,000 households will get support, with a budget of 2.6 to 2.7 billion lei.
