Social Support for Families: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Low-income Emirati families can receive monthly financial assistance to help support their households based on family size.
This scheme provides monthly financial assistance to help low-income families manage their household expenses and provide for their dependents.
Who it's for
This support is specifically designed for Emirati families who meet the criteria for low-income status. It is intended to provide a safety net for citizens who need additional financial help to maintain their household needs.
What you get
You receive monthly financial assistance to help support your family. The specific amount of assistance provided is not a single fixed rate; instead, it is calculated based on two main factors: the total number of people in your family and your current household income levels. This ensures that the support is tailored to the specific size and financial requirements of your individual family unit.
What it costs you
There is no application fee for this service. However, to qualify and maintain your eligibility, you must provide your family book (Khulasat Al Qaid) as proof of your family structure. You must also undergo an annual income verification process to ensure your financial circumstances still meet the requirements for the support.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that you must report any changes in your employment status immediately. Because your eligibility is tied to your income and family size, a change in your job or salary could change the amount of assistance you are entitled to, or your eligibility itself.
How to apply
- Prepare your family book (Khulasat Al Qaid) and all necessary documents regarding your current income.
- Contact the Ministry of Community Development to initiate the application process.
- Submit your documentation for the authorities to review your income and family size.
- Ensure you participate in the annual income verification process to keep your support active.
