Romania boosts daily food allowance to 32 lei for vulnerable groups in 2026 The Romanian government announced on 27 January 2026 that it will increase the daily food allowance for people in protection services from 22 to 32 lei. The rise, which represents an increase of more than 60 percent, is aimed at children in special care centres, adults with disabilities, elderly residents in nursing homes and other individuals in need of institutional support. The additional funds are intended to cover the cost of meals provided by accredited institutions and to improve the overall quality of care. Minister Petre‑Florin Manole said the decision reflects the state’s responsibility to ensure a minimum standard of living for the most vulnerable. The move is part of a broader effort to adjust social service funding in response to rising living costs.
