The Iranian Ministry of Welfare announced the immediate activation of electronic subsidy coupons for all households covered by state support institutions, removing previous restrictions based on national ID numbers.
The Iranian government has officially activated electronic subsidy coupons (Kalabarg) for vulnerable households covered by state welfare programs. The rollout allows beneficiaries to access their allocated subsidy credits for retail purchases starting Monday, Esfand 18.
The breaking news aggregator اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری reported the policy update to its followers. According to a Ministry of Welfare statement shared by the channel, the immediate activation applies to all households covered by the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation and the State Welfare Organization. The ministry emphasized that eligible families can now use their electronic coupon credit in stores "regardless of the last digit of the head of household's national ID number," effectively removing a restriction that previously staggered access to the subsidy funds. This report was additionally circulated by the mainstream news aggregator آخرین خبر.
The announcement was similarly highlighted by حامیان پزشکیان, a channel politically aligned with President Masoud Pezeshkian's administration. Citing the Ministry of Labor, the pro-government source confirmed that the coupons for individuals under support institutions were "activated today, 18 Esfand month", demonstrating a unified push to publicize the administration's welfare delivery across both general news platforms and politically supportive media outlets.
The messaging is uniform across both the general breaking news aggregator and the pro-government channel, representing a straightforward dissemination of a state welfare announcement. The removal of the staggered national ID digit restriction appears to be the primary newsworthy element of the policy update.
