Minister of Family and Social Services Göktaş: "We have started to deposit a total of TL 2.8 billion of Home Care Allowance to the accounts”


Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş announced that the Ministry of Family and Social Services started depositing a total of 2.8 billion TL Home Care Allowance into the accounts this month in order to provide economic support to citizens with full dependency and their families in need of care.

Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş reminded that Home Care Allowance, one of the most important family-oriented care service models, was launched in 2006 with the idea that persons with disabilities would be supported primarily by their families. Göktaş stated that Home Care Allowance protected the integrity of the family by supporting family members who took care of relatives with full dependency.

Stating that 5.097 TL per beneficiary was paid monthly within the scope of Home Care Allowance, Minister Göktaş said: "This month, we have started to deposit a total of 2.8 billion TL Home Care Allowance to the accounts of citizens with full dependency and their families in need of care. This month, 562.000 citizens are benefiting from Home Care Allowance. As the Ministry, within the framework of the vision of the Century of Türkiye, we consider it very important that rights-based social assistance in disability is sustainable with a transparent approach. In this context, we will continue to reach every member of society with the holistic and fair social service models  developed within the framework of the vision of a society leaving no one behind. I wish the payments to be beneficial to all persons with disabilities and their families."
