The thesis is based on recognizing the changes of the Slovenian welfare system, particularly family cash benefits after the year 2008. Main focus of the work is to identify the changes and to succesfully contextualize them through secondary analysis of primary aswell as secondary sources. Researched timespan primarily includes the beginning of the global financial crisis in 2008 and later achievment of a sufficient economic growth in the year 2015. Based on reports of key social actors and statistical data in the researched field I established, that the laws managing family cash benefits have neoliberalized, which were therefore manifested through increased selectivity with the introduction of a new social legislation in 2012. With a new legal framework the welfare system was also introduced with expansive policies but in a smaller amount. The elimination of interventionary legislation was carried out in it's entirety, but with a delay, since it reached it's full elimination in 2019 and not in 2015, when the Slovenian economy reached a sufficient economic growth. To date legislation still includes some selective legal instruments, which are a product of the new social legislation, although there are also a few welfare expansive laws currently in force.
