A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből

1.64 billion Ft to run the agency that distributes the Hungary Helps grants.

As the grant programme winds down over two years, the agency that administers it phases out with it — with one year of salary protection for the small professional staff.

Roughly 410 Ft per taxpayer per year — 1,643 million Ft for the administrative apparatus of a grant programme that is closing.

Amit látsz — és amit nem

The seen: the agency staff who process and disburse the humanitarian grants. The unseen: every taxpayer continuing to fund a delivery apparatus whose purpose ends when the grants it administers run off.

Ellenvetés

"You can't wind down grants and abandon the staff who implement them."

Válasz

The two-year phase-out is designed for exactly this. Non-payroll operating costs end in year one. Staff receive one year of severance-with-overlap — their salary continues while they are free to take private-sector employment — after which the agency closes. A small professional team with project-management and administrative skills has a three-year transition window, not an abrupt redundancy notice.

Share if you think closing a government agency should come with fair transition support for its staff, and actually happen.

Indoklás

This funds the operating apparatus of the Hungary Helps Agency — the body that administers the programme analysed above. Its rationale is derivative: it exists to disburse the grants. As the grant programme phases out over two years, the agency that administers it phases out with it. Because the protected party here is the agency's employees — a small professional staff with general administrative and project-management skills — the appropriate bridge mechanism is severance-with-overlap rather than a generic glide. Severance applies to the payroll component of the line, not the whole envelope. The chapter does not break out the agency's payroll separately from its other operating costs. No audited payroll breakdown for the agency was located during this analysis; the payroll component is therefore estimated at roughly 40% of the operating line — about 657 millió Ft — by analogy to the typical personnel share of small Hungarian government-agency administrative budgets. This estimate is flagged for primary-source verification against the agency's annual report to Parliament. On that basis, the non-payroll operating cost (about 986 millió Ft) ends in year 1, and the payroll component is protected through a single overlap year of severance, during which staff keep their salary and may take new private-sector employment; the full line then reaches zero in year 2.

Átállási mechanizmus

Wind down the agency over two years as the grant programme it administers closes. Non-payroll operating costs end in year 1. Staff receive one year of severance-with-overlap, keeping their salary while free to take new employment, after which the agency closes. The horizon depends on the agency's actual employee count and contract terms, which should be confirmed from its annual report.

Érintett csoportok

The Hungary Helps Agency's staff — a small professional team with transferable skills, one year of salary protection, private-sector re-employment as the household path.
