First, the amount is 18 000 AMD and has not undergone any changes. Payment for January of this year will be late. Ministry representative said that conditioned by the problems associated with transition period, the list will be handed to paying organizations until February 10th. Hereinafter, starting from the third working day of each month, previous month care allowance will be paid according to the list. Let’s recall that until now it used to be paid by the end of each current month.
