Finance Ministry to seek Cabinet approval for two-month extension of ‘Thai Chuay Thai Plus’
Today 10:32Key points summarised by AI
The Finance Ministry will propose a two-month extension of the 'Thai Chuay Thai Plus' scheme to the Cabinet on September 22, maintaining the original 60/40 co-payment ratio.
This extension aims to alleviate rising living costs due to surging global crude oil prices, utilizing existing residual funds without reallocating from the energy transition budget.
State welfare cardholders, including newly qualified recipients, will continue to receive subsidies, while those disqualified will receive the same co-payment benefits as the general public.
