Deputy Prime Minister's Spokesperson Lalida Periwattana announced that the government is accepting welfare card qualification reviews from July 17–31 for applicants who failed the initial assessment. Citizens can correct their information, address errors, and protect their rights through four channels: bank registration units, the state welfare program website, the Pao Tung app, and the government app. Those who submit reviews and are asked to provide additional documents must complete corrections by August 16 at the relevant qualification-checking agencies, or it may affect their eligibility.
Deputy Spokesperson Ploytalae Laksmeesangjun noted that people disqualified due to vehicle ownership can appeal with help from the Transport Ministry. The Ministry has arranged for the Department of Land Transport to assist citizens in verifying vehicle ownership records free of charge at provincial transport offices nationwide. Citizens can bring their ID or relevant documents to check the central database (MDM) at any provincial or branch transport office. If vehicle records don't match reality, the data will be corrected and registered properly. The government is expediting database updates so people can use accurate information to appeal and preserve their welfare card rights.
