The Government is today expected to modify the state-funded programme designed to help Ukrainian refugees. Under the modified law, refugees will receive €400 per month for up to four consecutive months to offset accommodation expenses on the territory of Romania. The funds will reach refugees directly, not their hosts, as was the case previously. Once the period of four month passes, refugees can access unemployment and employment incentive schemes if they register with employment agencies. Right now, natural persons in Romania hosting refugees receive €4 meal allowances per day and €10 for accommodation expenses. Starting February 10, nearly 4 million Ukrainians have crossed into Romania, most of them in route to Western countries.
