Hungarian pensioners to get vouchers to pay utility bills
Hungarian pensioners will receive vouchers worth 9,000 forints (EUR 27) by Sept. 30, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, Gergely Gulyás, told a news conference on Friday.
The Hungarian economy, he said, was performing better than expected, and the older generation should have their share of the benefits.
The vouchers can be used by March 31 for paying gas and electricity bills, Gulyás said, adding that the separate pension bonus and pension supplement will also be available this year.
Further, public employees who have been employed in the sector for at least 3 months between January 1 and July 31, 2019 and who are still employed as of August 1 will receive a one-off net payment of 54,000 forints.
