Support for orphans after reaching the age of majority has been established in Ogre Municipality

Ogre Municipality Council has adopted binding regulations No. 19/2026 “On benefits and support for orphans and children left without parental care after reaching the age of majority”. The application of the document was published in the official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis on October 7, 2026, in issue No. 193, with the official reference OP 2026/193, item 17. With these regulations, the municipality determines support for youth who have reached the age of majority and whose out-of-home care has ended.

The regulations were issued at the municipal level — adopted by the Ogre Municipality Council as the local issuing authority, and they apply to Ogre Municipality. The binding regulations are published in the official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis, which is the state’s official publication venue.

An application of the same name was also published in issue No. 187 on September 29, 2026 (OP 2026/187, point 6), meaning the document entered official circulation even before the October publication.
