Procedure for the granting of monetary benefits from Social Assistance.

For its part, Chapter II "On monetary benefits", of Decree No. 283, Regulation of the Law, establishes the granting of these benefits, which according to their nature may be temporary or eventual. Likewise, it is regulated that, in exceptional cases, the Minister of Labor and Social Security may grant exceptional temporary monetary benefits from the Social Assistance System in amounts greater than those contained in the established scale.

All the proposals for benefits are submitted to the Board of Directors of the municipal, provincial or national instance, according to the level to which the decision corresponds, for its approval, denial, or to present the proposal to the higher level.

Eventual monetary benefits are those granted when the person or family nucleus, for exceptional and justified reasons, presents an emergent situation.

As provided in Decree No. 283, Regulation of the Law, it is considered an emergent situation, when there is a lack of family support and income to assume the immediate basic expenses for the maintenance of children, the elderly, people with disabilities, seriously ill or other payments that are considered non-deferrable.

Temporary monetary benefits are those that are granted for a term of up to one year, when the situation of the family nucleus that originated its concession is expected to last over time.

The amount of temporary benefits is fixed taking into account the established scale, conditioned to the number of members of the family nucleus and the need for protection, for which the following must be verified:

1. Inability of the members of the family nucleus to enter employment, motivated by health situations, disabilities or other causes that justify it;
2. Insufficiency of income to assume basic expenses; and
3. Lack of obligated relatives in a position to provide help.

They are temporary monetary benefits of more than one year, those that are granted when the family nucleus presents a situation of permanent need. As provided in the Regulations of the Law, the Municipal Director of Labor may, before the expiration of the period of the approved temporary monetary benefit, propose to the Provincial Director of Labor that the term of the benefit be extended.

They are exceptional temporary monetary benefits, those that are granted to persons or family nuclei, on a temporary basis, in amounts greater than those established in the scale and approved by the Minister of Labor and Social Security, after analysis in the Board of Directors.

This protection is aimed at those people or families who are in a state of need, in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations of the Law and that the amount of the temporary monetary benefit that proceeds, according to the established scale, is insufficient.

Its analysis is casuistic and its approval is valued whenever it is not possible to adopt other measures in the territory.

When carrying out the evaluation of temporary monetary benefits for up to one year, if the result of the analysis is to approve the proposal, the Director of Municipal Work, records the decision adopted, in the registry enabled for the Control of Approved or Proposed Temporary Monetary Benefits to the Higher instance, being registered:

1. File number;

4. Address;
5. Date of the resolution of the Board of Directors;
6. Amount approved or proposed;
7. Type of approved or proposed benefit; and

In the case of temporary monetary benefits that are extended for terms exceeding one year and the exceptional ones, which are decided by higher instances, the file is transferred to the Provincial Director of Labor, within the term of seven business days following the adoption of the decision, attending to the requirements established in the present procedure.

The Provincial Director of Labor, after receiving the file and the opinion prepared by the Municipal Director of Labor, submits the proposal to the analysis of the Board of Directors of his instance within the following seven working days.

In the case of temporary monetary benefits that are extended for terms exceeding one year, if the result of the analysis is to approve the proposal, the Provincial Director of Labor, establishes the decision adopted, in the registry enabled for the Control of Temporary Monetary Benefits Approved or Proposed to the highest instance.

In the case of exceptional temporary monetary benefits, which are decided by the Ministry, the file is transferred, fulfilling the requirements established in this procedure, to the Provincial Director of Labor, within the term of seven business days following the adoption of the decision.

The files that are sent to the Department of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work will be transferred with a charge sheet that contains the file number, name and surname of the owner and the date of shipment.

The National Director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work is in charge of the processing and analysis of each request and of proposing to the Minister of Labor and Social Security, by means of a written brief, accessing the request or denying it, within five business days.

The Minister of Labor and Social Security presents the proposal of the National Director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work to the Board of Directors for its analysis. If the granting of the benefit is decided, it dictates the corresponding Resolution.

If the benefit is denied, the Director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work communicates it to the Provincial Director of Labor by means of a written brief.

Once the notification of approval of the exceptional monetary benefit has been received, it is immediately executed by the corresponding Department of Prevention, Assistance and Municipal Social Work.

The delivery of the means of payment to the beneficiaries of the approved temporary exceptional monetary benefits shall not exceed 10 calendar days, from the receipt of the resolutions in the municipality.

Payment of monetary benefits.

The payment system for temporary monetary benefits consists of the following elements:

1. Payment checkbook.
2. Control register of delivered checkbooks.
3. Collection authorization model for people unable to do it personally.
4. List of beneficiaries who charge in each payment center.

The means of payment consists of monthly coupons. When delivering the checkbook to each beneficiary, their signature or fingerprints are recorded in the Checkbook Control Register, as proof that it was received.

The temporary monetary benefit becomes effective from the month of its approval, unless an urgent monetary benefit covering the same period has been granted out of urgent need.

When the beneficiary is unable to collect directly from the payment center, it can be authorized (exceptionally and whenever the impossibility of the beneficiary is shown by bedridden situations or other duly substantiated causes), to another person to do so at his Name. This procedure is supported by your signature and date of authorization, the deputy director of Municipal Social Security in the model of "authorization of collections", which will control, with a consecutive order, the copies of the approved authorizations.

The person authorized to collect cannot be a worker of the Municipal or Provincial Labor Directorate, the National Institute for Prevention, Assistance and Social Work and its subsidiaries, the National Inspection Office and its subsidiaries, the National Training Center and Development of Tables, the National Institute for Labor Research and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. 

The checkbooks must be made in printer or typewriter. In no case may it present amendments or deletions. The director of each instance that intervenes in the distribution or delivery process, is responsible for the custody of blank or ready-made checkbooks pending delivery to the beneficiaries, guaranteeing a place that has the required security conditions, in order to avoid the possibility of occurrence of criminal acts.

The delivery of the means of payment to the beneficiaries is carried out through the Social Assistance specialists, either at the Municipal Labor Office or at the beneficiary's address.

In those cases in which the delivery is made at the address, they must be attached to the control register of delivered checkbooks, the individual certificates showing the general beneficiary and their signature or fingerprint. In no case will the checkbooks be delivered to third parties, even when there is the consent of the beneficiary to make their collections, without complying with the established requirements.

After 30 days, if the beneficiary has not come to collect the checkbook and has not been located at his address, it is destroyed, as established in the procedure to be followed with the means of payment when it is modified or it extinguishes the benefit.

The payment of temporary monetary benefits is basically made in the units of the Correos de Cuba Business Group. The municipal deputy director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work delivers to each payment center, in the month of January of each year, the list with the cases authorized to collect, notifying monthly (before starting the payment) the additions, cancellations and changes of amounts, reconciling the total number of cases and the total amount to be paid, of which a written record is left.

Beneficiaries may only collect at the payment center where they are controlled, in the municipality where they reside.

In the event that the beneficiary does not make the collection within the payment period of the corresponding month, the causes are verified through a visit to their home and the Deputy Director of Prevention, Assistance and Social Work adopts the corresponding measures.

The payment of temporary monetary benefits is not retroactive, nor does it accumulate. Exceptionally, when the loss of the beneficiary's checkbook or other duly justified causes is verified, once the monthly reconciliation has been carried out, where it is verified that the benefit was not actually collected, the Municipal Labor Director authorizes the retroactive payment.
