Contribution to food, health care and high bills
From 1 January, the forms to request the Purchasing Card have been available on the Mef website, which allows citizens aged 65 and over and parents of children under the age of three to obtain a contribution of 80 euros every two months for food and health expenses and for the payment of electricity and gas bills.
The recipients of the grant can make purchases using an electronic payment card at food shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, parapharmacies, as well as pay electricity and gas bills at post offices and take advantage of the subsidized electricity rate.
The application for the Purchasing Card (completely free for those entitled) can be presented in the Post Offices by filling in the form on the basis of the requisites requested.
Those who obtained the Card in previous years and continue to meet the requirements, will be able to take advantage of the benefit without the need for a new request.
