[Shun Yu's Hong Kong Column] SWD relaxes the permissible limit of absence from Hong Kong under the CSSA and SSA Schemes

一般而言,綜援與其他公共福利金(長者生活津貼、高齡津貼)均設有離港日數限制。以長者生活津貼為例,申請人需於申請日期前一年前離港日數不超過56天,以符合申請資格。

 

可是,因應疫情關係很多在內地居住的港人未能回港,因此超出了離港日數限制。而政府已於疫情期間已放寬了此限制,讓離港超過56天的申請人亦能繼續領取長者生活津貼。如申請者/申請者家人仍有疑問,可以向相關社署社會保障辦事處查詢。

 

If you would like to know more about the program or have any questions, please contact your local social worker or leave a message to us at Sunyu Academy and we will try our best to answer your questions.
