Additionally, if there is a family accompanying the individual to work in areas with exceptionally difficult socio-economic conditions, aside from the initial allowance, they are entitled to:

- Transportation expenses and luggage fees for family members traveling together, calculated based on the actual ticket price and transportation fees of public transport or reimbursed according to a flat rate based on the actual kilometers traveled multiplied by the usual public transport rates (train, boat, passenger car);- An allowance equivalent to 12 months of statutory pay rate for the family.

The aforementioned allowances will be paid immediately when the beneficiary arrives to assume their position and will be provided as a one-time payment for the total duration of work in areas with exceptionally difficult socio-economic conditions.
