Response from the competent authority: Dear Sir or Madam. With regard to your petition
  concerning a single application by pensioners for the right to a security supplement,
  we would like to clarify that the Law on Social Security Benefits (Official Gazette
  of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 61/2010, 40/2011, 110/2011 - ZDIU12, 40/2012 -
  ZUJF, 14/2013, hereinafter referred to as "ZSVarPre"), Article 52 provides, inter
  alia, that in assessing eligibility for a protection allowance, the provisions applicable
  to the determination of eligibility for social assistance under this Act shall apply
  mutatis mutandis with regard to the granting and payment of the allowance. The Ministry
  of Social Affairs and Labour and Social Welfare would like to clarify that the right
  to a permanent entitlement to a protection allowance, on the basis of a single application,
  is already provided for by the legislation in force, since, by analogy, in accordance
  with the fifth paragraph of Article 36(5) of Regulation (EC) No. Article 36(5) of
  the Social Welfare Act, a beneficiary who is permanently unemployable or permanently
  incapable of work, or over the age of 63 for women and 65 for men, and who is without
  assets to be taken into account under this Act, and who is not in institutional
  care, and whose family members also meet the conditions set out in this paragraph,
  is granted a permanent cash social assistance. It is further clarified that Article
  36(6) of the Social Welfare Act provides that the Centre for Social Work shall verify
  once a year, ex officio, whether the above-mentioned persons still fulfil the conditions
  for entitlement to social welfare benefits under this Act as of 1 April and whether
  any changes have occurred which affect the amount of these benefits, and in the
  event of changes, issue a new decision. In such cases, the beneficiary does not
  have to submit any new application or documentation. We at the Ministry of Social
  Affairs and Labour and Social Funding thank you for your initiative and agree that
  your proposal is interesting and topical, since by reducing administrative obstacles,
  it will enable citizens of the Republic of Slovenia to deal with administrative
  procedures more quickly and easily, and we at the Ministry of Social Affairs and
  Labour and Social Funding will certainly strive to do so in the event of a major
  change in the legislation in the area of claiming rights from public funds.
