Mrs Nováková works as a teacher at a primary school and is expecting her first child. She is 3 weeks away from giving birth. Which of these cash benefits can she receive before the child is born?
In the exam (Czech)
Paní Nováková pracuje jako učitelka na základní škole a čeká své první dítě. Má 3 týdny před porodem. Kterou z těchto peněžitých dávek může dostat před narozením dítěte?
- aChildbirth grant.Porodné.
- bCarer's benefit.Ošetřovné.
- cMaternity benefit.Mateřskou.Correct answer
- dParental allowance.Rodičovskou.
Why?
Maternity benefit (mateřská, officially peněžitá pomoc v mateřství) is paid already before the birth: it starts at the earliest 8 weeks and at the latest 6 weeks before the expected birth. So Mrs Nováková, 3 weeks before the birth, is already receiving it. The childbirth grant (porodné) is a one-off benefit after the child is born, and parental allowance is received only after maternity benefit.
