Minister of Family and Social Services Göktaş: "The Ministry has deposited a total of 4.2 billion TL Home Care Allowance into accounts"


Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş announced that a total of 4.2 billion TL Home Care Allowance was deposited into accounts during the month to provide financial support to citizens with full dependency and their families taking care of them at home.

Minister Göktaş reminded that Home Care Allowance, one of the most important family-oriented care service models offered by the Ministry, was launched in 2006 with the idea that persons with disabilities would be supported primarily by their families. Göktaş said, "The Ministry prioritizes the care of persons with disabilities at their homes in a way preserving the family integrity. The Ministry supports the protection and strengthening of the family unity of persons with disabilities by supporting them to live with their family or relatives without leaving their environment with Home Care Allowance."

Stating that the Home Care Allowance protected the family integrity by supporting citizens taking care of their relatives with full dependency, Göktaş said: "The Ministry develops policies with a rights-based perspective for persons with disabilities to fully access their fundamental rights such as education, healthcare, security and employment. The Ministry is trying to reach every member of the society with the holistic and fair social service models developed."

Stating that 7.608 TL per beneficiary was paid monthly within the scope of Home Care Allowance, Minister Göktaş said:
"This month, the Ministry started to deposit a total of 4.2 billion TL Home Care Allowance to the accounts of citizens with full dependency being taken care of in their homes and their families. This month, 560.000 citizens are benefiting from Home Care Allowance. Within the framework of the vision of the Century of Türkiye, as the Ministry, we will continue making efforts to ensure that rights-based social assistance in disability is sustainable with a transparent approach. I wish the payments to be beneficial to all persons with disabilities and their families."
