What to do if registration fails

Applicants can check registration results through four channels:

2. The Thang Rat application

3. Registration units at five banks

4. The Paotang application

After the eligibility results are announced, if an applicant is found "not to meet the eligibility criteria" as specified by the project and wishes to have their information rechecked, they can appeal the decision within 15 days from the announcement date through the four channels mentioned above, using the following methods:

1. Website https://บัตรสวัสดิการแห่งรัฐ.mof.go.th or https://welfare.mof.go.th (applicants can immediately press the "Submit Appeal" button within the system).

2. The Thang Rat and Paotang applications (applicants can immediately press the "Submit Appeal" button within the system).

What to do if you pass eligibility in the appeal round

If you pass the eligibility criteria in the appeal round and have previously received State Welfare benefits, you do not need to verify your identity (e-KYC) as the project already has your information. If you have never received State Welfare benefits, you can verify your identity (e-KYC) through the five-bank registration units or the Paotang application. You will be able to start using your benefits from 1 October 2026 onward; if delayed beyond that, you will receive benefits once identity verification is complete.
