Refugees – Contribution towards books or learning materials for dependent children or minors under guardianship

Who is it for and what are the requirements? 

Persons subject to international protection (refugee status, subsidiary protection and asylum seekers), temporary protection and special protection, employed by the Employment Agency or involved in training courses provided by Forma.Temp dedicated to them, are granted access to the Ebitemp service "Learning materials and books (for children or minors under guardianship)" with facilitated requirements, providing a contribution for each child or minor under guardianship (enrolled in a primary or secondary school or vocational training centre sponsored by the relevant local authorities or at a university with proof of attendance at a degree course) for the purchase of books or learning materials (e.g. stationery). 

Applicants must have signed an employment contract or attended a dedicated training course provided by Forma.Temp. 

What are you entitled to? 

An annual contribution for each child or minor under guardianship towards the purchase of books or learning materials (e.g. stationery) of the value of €240.  

Only one parent or guardian may access the benefit for each relevant school year. 

What do you have to do? 

In order to apply, the individuals concerned must have attended at least one day of the training courses provided by Forma.Temp dedicated to them, or have worked at least one day as a temporary worker, by signing an employment contract with an Employment Agency between 1 September and 31 August of each school year. 

The application must be sent by the interested parties and/or by the Territorial Trade Union Offices exclusively by accessing the MyEbitemp reserved area, from which it is possible to monitor its progress and add any missing documentation (for the management of additions, consult the operational guide at the following link MyEbitemp Additions Management Guide). 

If the required documentation is missing, Ebitemp will suspend the process and send the worker a request for additional documentation, which must be received within 90 calendar days. After this, if no additional documentation has been received, the application will be considered withdrawn and therefore rejected. 

When is the document from the juvenile court required? 

When the foster care/adoption procedure for a child without parents is concluded or in the event that the parents cannot exercise parental authority  

I am a minor worker with a temporary contract. What can I do to access Ebitemp's services? 

For requests submitted by minors, the forms to be attached must be signed by someone with parental responsibility. Verification of the status of the person exercising parental responsibility can be obtained by means of the family status certificate or self-declaration of parental responsibility (click here to download the form). 

Ebitemp has notified me of the suspension of the provision of a service due to the default on a loan granted by the Organisation. Why? 

Failure to repay, in whole or in part, a loan granted by Ebitemp results in the suspension of the provision of the other benefits of the Organisation, until the outstanding amount has been repaid in full. 

If the dependent family member is of legal age, what should be done? 

All forms must also be signed by the adult family member in the spaces reserved for them.
