Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian legislation in force is governed by the logic that the main income sources of a working-age person shall be the incomes from labor activity. Upon loss of working capacity as a result of the occurrence of social security risk, the persons shall be entitled to social security payment replacing the lost labor incomes. In case the preconditions for social security payments are not met, it is possible for the social assistance system to be applied. The subject of the present study is to find out whether such “replacement incomes” are suitable to adequately replace the lost incomes of people, whose age (and the related changes in their health condition) do not allow to gain subsistence means against labor activity.
