Can all expenses on education and sports in Armenia be reimbursed  within the framework of the <social credit> program

ArmInfo.In order to qualify for reimbursement of social expenses related to education and sports within the framework of the general income declaration, one must first ensure that the services they receive from educational institutions or individuals are approved by the authorized state body in the field of education.

This was stated by Deputy Minister of  Finance Arman Poghosyan, Deputy Minister of Education, Science,  Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia Araksia Svajyan on  February 17 at a press conference, in response to a question from  ArmInfo. 

Let us recall that on February 13, the government declared that  social expenses also include costs for training by music, art, dance  schools, school organizations and centers, children's and youth  sports and other extracurricular programs, as well as informal  educational programs recommended by the Ministry of Education,  Science, Culture and Sports; expenses for renting textbooks within  the framework of secondary general and special education programs;  and expenses for dental services in 2024-2025. Compensation for  social expenses is granted  if the  expenses were made in a non-cash  form, except for textbook rental expenses, where payment proof is not  required. 

Within a week, a separate section will be created on the official  website of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports.  This section will include information on guaranteed educational  programs, as well as a list of organizations whose students are  eligible for reimbursement of social expenses.
