Previously, only households registered in the compensation system were eligible, but the government is now working to extend support to all families, starting in February.

The decision follows the European Union's announcement of a new aid package for Moldova, including €30 million in emergency assistance, €250 million in medium-term support, and a proposed €60 million for the Transnistrian region.
