The data includes the actual number of households which in a given year benefited from social welfare benefits. Each household was included only once, regardless of the type and number of benefits received and regardless of whether one or more people received the benefit in a multi-person household. A household that benefits from social welfare benefits is one that has received monetary benefits, non-monetary benefits or in the form of services through a social welfare center in accordance with the Law on Social Assistance, dated 12 March 2004 (Journal of Laws 2020 item 1876), as amended d. (uniform text D.U. of June 29, 2016, item 930). The condition for granting the assistance is the occurrence of one of the problems listed in Article 7 of the Act. In the case of monetary benefits, the basic condition for granting them is the income criterion.
