Response from the competent authority: "Response of the Ministry of Public Administration:Dear\
  \ Sir or Madam!With regard to the petition, we would like to point out that at the\
  \ end of 2017, an amendment to the Act on the Assertion of Rights from Public Funds\
  \ was adopted, which provides the legal basis for the start of the issuance of the\
  \ so-called informative calculations, which will inform all recipients of rights\
  \ and subsidies under the Act on the Assertion of Rights from Public Funds of all\
  \ the facts relevant for the decision and the amount of the individual rights they\
  \ are entitled to under the current legislation before the decision is issued.\r\
  \nThus, from the information calculation received, the client will be able to see\
  \ which family members have been taken into account in the assessment of the entitlement,\
  \ which income and assets have been taken into account, and how much the entitlement\
  \ itself amounts to for a given period. The client will be able to lodge an objection\
  \ to such an informative calculation, failing which the informative calculation\
  \ will take the form of an administrative act, i.e. a decision. In addition to lodging\
  \ an objection with the CSD, the client will also have the possibility of challenging\
  \ the correctness and legality of the decision by lodging an appeal with the Ministry\
  \ or seeking judicial protection.\r\nThe amended law foresees that recipients of\
  \ annual entitlements will only have to submit applications for annual entitlements,\
  \ i.e. child allowance, kindergarten subsidy, mid-day meal subsidy and state grant,\
  \ until the end of November 2018, as in the future it is planned to automatically\
  \ check whether they meet the conditions to continue receiving the entitlement.\
  \ This will relieve the burden on citizens by removing the obligation to submit\
  \ applications and prevent interruptions in the payment of entitlements due to delays\
  \ in submitting new claims.\r\nBy automating the procedures at the social work centres,\
  \ we will eliminate the excessive burden of administrative procedures on the centres,\
  \ so that they have more time to implement and develop activities that prevent or\
  \ remedy social hardship for individuals and families. Following the reorganisation\
  \ planned for autumn 2018, the decision-making on annual entitlements under the\
  \ Law on the Exercise of Entitlements from Public Funds will be centralised in the\
  \ regional social work centres under the new organisational structure.\r\nThe full\
  \ automation of the issuance of information calculations for annual entitlements\
  \ is planned to be completed in autumn 2019 with the issuance of the first bulk\
  \ package of information calculations. In the future, beneficiaries of annual entitlements\
  \ will receive an information calculation at home every autumn, while the obligation\
  \ to submit an application will remain only for the first request for an individual\
  \ entitlement and, of course, for the communication of changes.The aim is to ensure\
  \ a modern social security system that provides a uniform, fast, professional and\
  \ efficient, user-oriented way of making decisions on entitlements from public funds."
