The Database Of "deadbeats" In Belarus Is Still Entered By Mistake

Fresh examples have emerged.

In Belarus, people continue to be mistakenly included in the database of "deadbeats. This time, a Belarusian woman, who raises three children under 18, was included in it, writes "Zerkalo".

One of the last meetings of the commission on "deadbeats" in Korelichi district in January this year considered applications for exclusion from the database of "dependents.

"Three citizens working in the territory of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, who provided supporting documents in the form of copies of employment agreements or contracts, as well as certificates from the place of official employment, as well as a citizen raising three children under the age of 18 years, it was decided to recognize them as employed in the economy, - reported on the website of the Korelichi district executive committee. - One citizen was refused to be recognized as employed, as an incomplete package of documents was collected."

Reminder, in 2024, a change was introduced for Belarusian women, raising a child under seven years old or having three or more minor children. In order not to be considered "deadbeats," now one should actually reside in Belarus - that is, stay outside the country for no more than 30 days during one quarter (as in the case of vegetable gardeners). The exception - travel abroad for treatment or recovery.

As for work in the EAEU, now only employment under a labor agreement or contract saves from "idleness."

Those who fall into the database of "idlers," pay some housing and communal services at full rates - heating, water heating and gas.

Meanwhile, the police continue to look for "idlers. For example, in January they organized preventive measures for the unemployed, including in Machulishchy and Borisov.
