As the Moldovan government’s Reintegration Bureau notes, the number of beneficiaries more than tripled in 2025, from 3,231 to 10,134.
The main categories of benefits provided in 2025 include: 4,624 monthly childcare allowances (4,149 – up to 2 years, 475 – up to 3 years); 1,891 lump-sum childbirth allowances; 1,169 retirement pensions; 1,155 temporary disability allowances; 514 monthly state benefits for war veterans; 185 maternity allowances, etc.

“Observance and full fulfillment of social obligations to all citizens of the Republic of Moldova, regardless of the place of residence or registration, is a strategic and permanent priority of the national authorities. The state guarantees every citizen the inalienable right to social protection, ensuring free and equal access to basic public services,” reminds the Reintegration Office.
