190,000 households apply for financial support after removal of bread subsidy

AMMAN — The total number of households that submitted applications to benefit from the government's financial support following the recent decision to lift bread subsidy reached 190,000 until the weekend, said Nader Thneibat, secretary general of the ICT Ministry.

The government launched a website for people to register in order to benefit from the financial support. The website (www.da3mak.jo) enables Jordanian families and individuals to apply for the support programme.

Citizens can also apply through the mobile application "daamak" by filling in their national number, the number of family members, their monthly income and details of their bank account, Thneibat told The Jordan Times on Sunday.

He noted that there is no need for military and civil public employees, retirees from the military, the government and the Social Security Corporation, in addition to the beneficiaries of the National Aid Fund, to apply as they will receive the cash support through cash subsidies transfers to their salaries.
