Four Ways to Check 2025 State Welfare Card Results

The Finance Ministry has opened four channels to check whether applicants qualified for the 2025 State Welfare Card program, with results to be announced on July 17, 2025. The program began accepting registrations from June 4–21, 2025. Winit Wisetsuvarnabhumi, director of the Office of Fiscal Economics and Finance Ministry spokesman, reported on the eighth meeting of the Public Welfare Committee for Grassroots Economics and Society, which reviewed registration and qualification results. The committee approved adding a new target group of 5,383,393 vulnerable individuals identified by the Interior Ministry during the registration period to proceed through the next phase of qualification screening.

Two key criteria have been revised for the 2025 program. First, the deduction allowance for parental support has been eliminated—income earners can no longer use their parents as a deduction if those parents are to be screened for welfare eligibility. Second, the credit limit criterion has been adjusted to 100,000 baht excluding agricultural loans, following guidance from the Bank of Thailand presented to Cabinet on June 2, 2025. Agricultural credit is excluded because it differs from regular loans, being tied to seasonal planting cycles and sometimes serving as disaster relief, and therefore may not accurately reflect a person's creditworthiness or financial status.

Qualified applicants can check their results through four channels: the "Pao Tang" mobile app, the "Thang Rat" mobile app, the official program website at https://welfare.mof.go.th, or in person at any of five participating banks—the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, Government Savings Bank, Krung Thai Bank, Government Housing Bank, and the Islamic Bank of Thailand. Existing cardholders can begin using benefits starting August 1, 2025, while new cardholders can begin on October 1, 2025, to align with other government assistance programs.
