The new Persons with Disabilities Act (PDA) aims to enhance
conditions for social and labour integration of people with
disabilities in Bulgaria and provides stricter obligations for
employers compared to the formerly applicable framework. From April
2019, Rules for Implementation of the PDA were adopted to provide
further guidance to employers on the new obligations. First
deadline for employers under the new PDA and the Rules is 2 July
2019.

The PDA defines ''permanently disabled
person'' as a ''person with permanent
physical, mental, intellectual and sensory impairment who may
impede their full and effective participation in public life and to
whom the medical expertise has established a degree of disability
of 50 and over 50 percent."
