New rules to support National Assistance families
New instructions have been issued to enable beneficiary families of the National Aid program in Jordan through a program that encourages self-reliance. These programs include training, qualification, and employment, as well as support for small and home-based projects. The guidelines specify that monthly transportation allowances of up to 65 dinars will be provided to persons with disabilities, women working in the private sector, or those participating in training programs outside their governorate. There is a grace period of up to one year for entering the private sector, six months for temporary projects, and up to two years for small and micro-enterprises. The instructions also set clear conditions for continued support, including exemptions for families members who take permanent jobs or are eligible for social security permits. Beneficiaries will be required to repay costs if they unjustifiably withdraw from programs. These policies aim for a gradual and sustainable transition from dependence on cash aid to reliance on self-sufficiency through training and development programs.
