In May, innovations regarding “social parasitism” appeared in Belarus. One of them concerns ways to find out whether a person is included in the dependent database. The second is the storage period for data in “parasitic” commissions. This was reported by the Vorsha district executive committee.

So, from May 18, you can find out if you have been included in the database of “parasites” on the portal of the electronic service of the automated information system. The information will be updated from the 1st day of the month following the date when the person is included in the database, the Vorsha district executive committee clarifies.

“Also, from May 1, the storage period for lists in the database (lists of “parasites” — edit.) has been established, which corresponds to the storage period for commission decisions (on dependents — edit.) and is three years,” reports the Vorsha regional executive committee.

Previously, Belarusians could find out whether they were included in the database of “parasites” also on the Unified Portal of Electronic Services. This was a paid service. But this required an electronic digital signature.

Also, Belarusians can still apply to the “parasitic” commission at the place of registration. This can be done either by telephone or in writing (by regular letter or email).
