Registration of people with low incomes, phase two

Officers of Muang Yala District have made haste to get people on low incomes who didn't register for welfare in 2017 to obtain the rights of welfare in phase two of the Sustainable Thai Patriotism Project.

Recently, Muang Yala District officials provided staff to aid the registration of people on low incomes who are handicapped, senior, bedridden, or couldn't travel to register in 2017. The district authority also created a Line group “Welfare Smart Card #2” to provide convenience in communications or in keeping track.

People in the categories mentioned can register for additional state welfare at the district office every day, including the weekend, until 30th June from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The individuals who register must be at least 18 years old, unemployed, or employed but having an annual income of not more than 100 thousand baht in 2016. They can have assets, in the form of cash, government bonds or other such forms, of not more than 100 thousand baht in total; real estate of not more than 100 square meters or an apartment of not more than 35 square meters, or farmland of not more than 3.95 acres or land used for any other purpose of not more than 0.4 acre.

However, those who registered in 2017 but did not succeed have no right to register this time. As for the bedridden, handicapped and seniors, the district authority has assigned a team with subdistrict-level responsibility to check the information of the individuals in the target groups and take the forms to their homes for them to fill out. The state welfare cards will be distributed from October 2018 onward.

PTT and Kasikornbank recently signed an agreement to develop the PTT e-Wallet system. The system is expected to be launched in the last quarter of this year in keeping with the national e-payment policy of the government, which encourages more use of financial technology. Ms. Chiraporn Khaosawat, Deputy Managing Director of the Oil Business Unit of PTT Co., Ltd., recently dealt with the introduction of the PTT e-Wallet system as an alternative for customers in paying for goods and services at gas stations, that also offer convenience stores, using an application and cards.
