EXCLUSIV 900.000 pensionari vor pierde 125 de lei la pensie în 2026. Vor fi afectate și persoanele cu handicap • Newsweek România

In 2026, approximately 900,000 pensioners in Romania will face a reduction of 125 lei in their pensions due to changes in the 'Support for Romania' program. This program, which provides financial aid for food and hot meals, is set to decrease its support from 250 lei in 2024 to 125 lei from 2025 to 2027. The Ministry of Investments and European Projects has confirmed that no funds are currently allocated for this aid in 2026, leaving many vulnerable groups, including pensioners and individuals with disabilities, uncertain about their financial support. The future of the food card program remains unclear, with no guarantees on when or how much aid will be distributed.
