COVID-19 Social Measures

A number of incentives have been offered by the Maltese Government to assist those individuals whose income has been affected due to COVID-19. These incentives include:

  • Employees who had their full-time employment terminated as of 9th March 2020, including those who were self-employed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will be eligible for the Contributory Unemployment Benefit and will receive a direct payment of €166.15 if work was in full-time before they became unemployed or €103.85 per week if work was part-time before becoming unemployed.
  • Government will increase rent subsidies for individuals who have their job terminated.
  • Government vouchers worth €100 have once again been provided to all residents over the age of 16 to encourage spending. This time, €60 is to be spent in hotels or restaurants and the remaining €40 can be spent in retail outlets that were obliged to shut down for some time during the pandemic, such as non-essential shops.
  • NGO’s will benefit from an allocation of €3M to ease any burdens that have arisen due to COVID-19.
  • Parents employed in the private sector with children under 16 years of age, who are not able to work from home, and due to the closure of schools cannot go to work and are on unpaid leave, may apply for the COVID-19 Parent Benefit Scheme, through their employer. Employers whose employees apply for this scheme may not benefit from the wage supplement for such employees.
Get in touch with us to see whether you are eligible for any of these incentives.

Applying for the MPRP is a complex project but with E&S team, the whole process didn’t seem to be as complex. The team first explained the process and then created a very detailed work activity tracker explaining each activity clearly. The team was very quick to respond to any clarifications and gave us confidence, helping in every step to make the process doable. One of the key areas for E&S’ success in guiding us was the painstaking detailed documentation and steps to be followed. Moreover, the process moved fast, and we got our approval the first time, in one shot 😊. I would strongly recommend E&S for MPRP process as with them, you will get it done successfully and faster than others.  For me, I see the full form of E&S as Efficiency and Success for its clients.
