Regarding the rights review results, they will be announced on 21 September 2026 to allow careful verification by the responsible agencies and enable those qualifying in the review to begin using benefits on 1 October 2026.

Therefore, the eligibility results for the 2026 project will be announced nationwide on 17 July 2026 starting at 6 AM via four main channels: the website https://บัตรสวัสดิการแห่งรัฐ.mof.go.th (or https://welfare.mof.go.th), the Paotang app, the government app, and five registration units (Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited, Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives, Government Savings Bank, Government Housing Bank, and Islamic Bank of Thailand).

Those who qualify under the 2026 project are divided into two groups as follows:

1. Existing cardholders can begin using their rights under the 2026 project starting 1 August 2026.
