The Finance Ministry will review the eligibility criteria for the state welfare card scheme following concerns that some elderly parents have been unfairly disqualified after their children claimed tax deductions on their behalf, despite not providing any financial support.
The President of the Federation of Thai Industries agrees with the government's review of the criteria for the state welfare card, particularly regarding tax deductions. He urges the government to use comprehensive data for screening and suggests creating jobs instead of simply distributing money.
