Parliament has decided on this law of the Czech Republic:
This law applies to legal relationships which are not covered by the directly applicable European Union social security regulation (1).
Adjustment of certain conditions for entitlement to and payment of the child allowance
(1) For the period from 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020, if the child allowance is paid on 31 March 2020, and its amount is determined, the provisions of the second to fourth paragraphs (1) and (2) of the State Social Aid Act shall not apply. For the purposes of determining the amount of the child allowance referred to in the first sentence, for the period of the second calendar quarter of 2020, the income on which the child allowance was determined on 31 March 2020 shall be based, unless otherwise specified.
(2) If, on 31 March 2020, an allowance for a child is paid at a basic rate, but in the first calendar quarter of 2020, there has been a change in the type of income, giving rise to entitlement to an allowance for a child at an increased rate, such income shall be based on the provision of an allowance for a child at an increased rate from the month in which the Office of Labour of the Czech Republic - Regional Branch of the Labour Office or a branch for the City of Prague (hereinafter referred to as "Regional Branch of the Labour Office ') became aware of them; the second sentence of paragraph 1 shall not apply from this month.
(3) For the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 September 2020, if the child allowance is paid on 30 June 2020, and its amount is determined, the provisions of the second to fourth paragraphs (51) (1) and (2) of the State Social Aid Act shall not apply and for the purposes of determining the amount of the child allowance for the period of the third calendar quarter of 2020 shall be based on the income on which the child allowance was determined on 30 June 2020. The first sentence shall not apply unless the operation of the regional branches of the Labour Office is restricted by 1 July 2020.
Adjustment of certain conditions for entitlement to and payment of the housing allowance
(1) In order to qualify for the payment of the housing allowance for the period 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020, if the housing allowance is paid on 31 March 2020, and to determine its amount, the provisions of paragraphs 3 to 6 of Section 51 (5) of the State Social Aid Act shall not apply. For the purposes of determining the amount of the housing allowance, for the period of the second calendar quarter of 2020, it shall be based on income and housing costs on which the amount of the housing allowance paid on 31 March 2020 has been determined, unless otherwise specified.
(2) If, in the first calendar quarter of 2020, there has been a reduction in income or an increase in the housing costs applicable to the establishment of the entitlement to and the amount of the housing allowance, these data shall be based on the figures for determining the amount of the housing allowance from the month in which the Regional Branch of the Labour Office became aware of them; the second sentence of paragraph 1 shall not apply from this month.
(3) In order to qualify for the payment of the housing allowance for the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 September 2020, if the housing allowance is paid on 30 June 2020, and to determine its amount, the provisions of the second to fourth paragraphs of Article 51 (5) of the Act on State Social Aid shall not apply and for the purpose of determining the amount of the housing allowance for the period of the third calendar quarter of 2020 shall be based on the income on which the housing allowance was determined on 30 June 2020.

For the purpose of determining the entitlement to an increase in the care allowance, the revenue for the period of the second calendar quarter of 2020 shall be based on the income for which an increase in the care allowance paid on 31 March 2020 was granted.
