The Government aims to reform its welfare policy through changes to the social protection measures for families with special needs and by increasing active measures for "family solidarity."

According to a government document, the plan is to terminate social coupons for early education, cut benefits for distinguished participation in the December 1989 Revolution, and limit travel discounts to three round-trips or six one-way trips. The document does not say what kind of travel this applies to.
