How much more ComCare Short-to-Medium-Term Assistance (SMTA) cash assistance can I expect to receive under the new rates announced in Budget 2025?
As part of Budget 2025, the ComCare Short-to-Medium-Term Assistance (SMTA) rates will increase. However, the exact increase varies for each household because SMTA is customised based on:
1. Household composition
2. Specific needs
3. Income level
SMTA covers the shortfall in income to meet basic living expenses. For instance, households with temporarily unemployed members may receive more assistance than those needing support to supplement work income.
