You must apply for the grant in the municipality where you live. The municipality can assist you in filling out the application.

You will be informed when the municipality processes your application, and you will have the opportunity to provide input. The municipality must gather all necessary information to make a decision, and you have the right to access the case documents. The decision will include the municipality’s reasoning, how the decision was reached, and who was involved in the process. You will receive the decision in writing.

The municipality is required to process the case as soon as possible. If the case cannot be resolved within one month, you will receive a written explanation of the delay and an estimated date for a decision.

If you are dissatisfied with the decision, you can appeal within three weeks from the date you received it. Explain what you are dissatisfied with and why you believe the decision should be changed, possibly providing new information to support your appeal. The municipality’s appeals board will review the case.
