New decree boosts social support for workers
The Moroccan Council of Ministers, headed by Aziz Akhannouch, has decided to adopt a new decree that enhances the direct social support system and alleviates families' fears of losing assistance upon entering the formal labor market. The decree aims to provide a transitional period of up to 12 months for families receiving support, during which their benefits will continue even if they obtain work permits, whether continuously or intermittently. This aims to facilitate integration into the formal job market and reduce the risk of falling back into poverty if employment is lost. Additionally, the decree abolishes the 12-month waiting period to regain support after job loss, thereby strengthening families’ confidence in the social protection system and linking support with employment incentives. The decree should be published in the Official Gazette, and procedures should be streamlined to ensure families benefit quickly and effectively.
