An online social benefit online calculator covering children’s allowance, in-work, unemployment and sick benefits was launched today by the Social Policy Ministry.
Furthermore, two further applications provide up-to-date schedule of the dates when the payment will be affected.
Details on these new services were divulged this morning by Social Policy Minister Michael Farrugia, who said that a retirement pension calculator was also in the pipeline and would be rolled out next June.
He said that this initiative was part of a wider plan to have a number of services accessible on a 24-hour basis.
Through these applications, users can find out the precise amount of social benefits for which they are entitled by inputting basic information like their annual income.
