📋 Tender Overview
Barbara Neßler (Greens), Rosa Ecker (FPÖ), Alois Stöger (SPÖ) and Bettina Zopf (ÖVP) expressed their delight that "the maternity allowance trap" is now being eliminated in the committee. Women who have their second child "too early" should not be punished, said Neßler, and emphasized in particular the retroactive applicability.
On the part of the opposition, SPÖ MP Stöger regretted that the law was not subjected to an assessment. He is convinced that it could have been done better in terms of legislation. Above all, he wonders why the affected group of people cannot simply be granted maternity benefit. However, the SPÖ agreed to the draft, as did the FPÖ, which considered the regulation overdue.
