The Tallinn City Government has decided to increase several social benefit rates from January 1, 2024. In response to the rising cost of living, the city is raising the income threshold to 360 euros and the financial support for the beginning of the academic year from the second grade to 100 euros. Additionally, benefits for children with disabilities and pension supplements will also see an increase.

Tallinn City Government sent a draft of a regulation to the City Council’s hearing today that would clarify the calculation process of the income-based benefit and which income sources are included.

All students up to the age of 19 are eligible to receive financial support from the City of Tallinn in the beginning of the school year. To date, 46,603 applicants have already received the benefit, and a total of 4.4 million euros have been paid out. Applications can be submitted until November 30.
