From July 1, Benefits in Cities and Settlements with Over 1000 Residents Will Be Paid Exclusively in Cashless Form

From July 1, family and social benefits, as well as emergency assistance, will be paid in cashless form exclusively in cities and settlements with over 1000 residents.

Thus, any adult member of households receiving benefits in these areas must apply to the local territorial center of the Unified Social Service serving their place of residence by June 30. They should submit a request for a change in the payment method in order to avoid queues when later receiving information about the bank selected by the system.

More details were discussed in an interview with Armen Margaryan, Head of the Family Benefits Division of the Pension Security and Other Cash Payments Department of the Republic of Armenia.
