Families who enjoy social assistance, according to the Law on Social Schemes, are barred from social assistance when their child is five years old because it is considered that he has grown up.

This is not well regulated, AAK MP Teuta Haxhiu estimates. Even the profitable families of social schemes deem the current law unfair.

Drita Shala, from the Fushe Kosovo municipality, has four children. She tells Radio Kosovo that the fourth child was born with the sole goal of continuing the social you live with.

I've got four kids, this fourth one, three months old, I've made social stop by how my third child did five years. We're going to have a left, but I have to have kids to get the social”, Shala said.

Like light has other cases in Kosovo. On the issue that social assistance stops children at the age of five, Kosovo Parliament MP Teuta Haxhiu has expressed concern as well.

According to Haxhiu, the Law on Social Scheme should be amended, since children of five years of age have even greater needs.

Children who age five and receive social assistance stop social assistance because they consider that the child is an adult. For me, my five - year - old child is not a relief to my family, but it is a burden that my family should invest even more for that child”, Haxhi said.

Days ago, Labour and Social Management Minister Skender Recica has indicated that by September, along with the World Bank, they have planned to do a broader social scheme research throughout all municipalities in Kosovo. Depending on the results of this research, it will be estimated whether there will be a need for change in the Law on Social Scheme.

“Family expenses after five years of age only grow, and that is what we are doing, and together with the World Bank, we are committed to being on the ground. We've added checks on social assistance beneficiaries, we're almost not leaving any files without checking”, Skender Recica said.

According to data from the Ministry of Labour and Peace, there were 25 thousand and 773 families in the Social Assistance Centre in July. While the annual budget for social aid is over 31m euros.
