The income support program usually organized by the government is designed to suffice the basic needs of the people who have no capability to support their needs. If you cannot support your needs because you only have
minimal income, you can ask for
financial support. But it is expected that you look for a job because the support is only granted to assist you in your financial needs while you are seeking for an employment.
Support is also granted to families to ensure the welfare of the children and to help them in raising their children. Because in reality, many children are neglected and abandoned by their parents because of poverty. It is significant though, that the family is aware that the assistance is just a supplement to their income that is why the parents still need work and
earn and save money for their family. Aside from the child benefits and income assistance, there is also a maternity allowance. This is given to assist the family with their extra expenses for the newly born baby. Meanwhile, a widow or a single parent can also avail the assistance in the form of pension or allowance.
