Slovak households face confusion over energy voucher claims amid postal notification issues

Many Slovak households are receiving notifications from the postal service claiming they have lost money for not selecting an energy supplier, creating widespread confusion about the government's energy voucher program. The Ministry of Economy has clarified that the situation is different from what the postal notifications suggest, as households are not automatically losing their energy voucher benefits simply for not actively choosing a supplier. The energy voucher program, designed to help citizens cope with high energy costs, allows eligible households to receive financial assistance, but the process and requirements have apparently been misunderstood by both recipients and postal services handling the notifications.
