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.
