The Joint Ministerial Decision was signed for the granting of a heating allowance to those who use electricity, and from today, December 21, the beneficiaries can submit applications for its grant.
The benefit is granted to natural persons, single or married or widowed or to persons who have entered into a cohabitation agreement or are separated or divorced, who consume electricity to heat their main residence (whether it is owned, leased or granted free of charge).
In order to receive the emergency aid, those interested must meet the following criteria:

Their annual total family income, regardless of its source of origin, real and assumed, amounts to:
– up to 16,000 euros for an unmarried debtor or a widowed or separated debtor

– up to 29,000 euros for a single-parent family, which is increased by 5,000 euros for each child after the first.
To determine the family status, the number of children, as well as the income criteria, the data from the Personal Income Tax Declaration, for the tax year 2022, are used.
In addition, as long as they are engaged in business activity, the total gross income from business activity of the debtor, spouse or cohabiting partner and dependent children, according to Law 4172/2013, must not exceed 80,000 euros.
