According to the bill submitted to parliament earlier today, public sector employees can request the one-off grant provided for them until 30 September 2012.

As an instrument for the assistance for foreign currency debtors, the government provides a one-off grant for public sector employees who have utilized the fixed exchange rate loan system. The amount of this grant corresponds to the difference between the installments actually paid between 1 February 2012 and the installments payable on the basis of the conditions of the first fixed exchange rate loan system – until not later than 1 July 2012 – and the installments payable according to the fixed exchange rate loan scheme. Thereby public sector employees actually receive the same support as if they would have been paying installments since February 2012 on the basis of the new fixed exchange rate loan system, at fixed rates (180 CHF/HUF, 250 EUR/HUF and 2JPY/HUF).
In order to assist as many debtors at issue as possible to utilize this opportunity, the bill proposes a new deadline for the conclusion of a contract of 30 September 2012 instead of the currently effective 1 July 2012.
