YEREVAN, JUNE 14, ARMENPRESS: A senior official of the Armenian employment and social affairs ministry told Armenpress that some 1.5 million of Armenian citizens have applied for social cards. The deadline for application is July 1. Hasmik Khachatrian, head of the ministry’s department for public relations, said the most active segment of Armenians will receive their social cards in due time.
The government has earmarked 120 million this year for introduction of social card system, a move expected largely to raise the efficiency of government bodies dealing with immediate needs of the population. The new system is supposed to reduce also the number of corrupt practices. Using social cards, individuals will be able to pay their utility fees, open a bank account, receive social allowances, pensions, and so on. A number of softer procedures are supposed to be effective parallel to the introduction of the system to help citizens avoid major problems.
