The Egyptian Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has announced that citizens can now add newborns to their ration cards through the digital Egypt portal. This move is part of the new cash support system set to be implemented in the new financial year. According to a source, this is one of the key benefits of the new program, which aims to provide support to eligible families. The ministry has emphasized that the process of adding newborns is now available and that the extraction of new ration cards is also possible.

The source revealed that the new cash support system will categorize beneficiaries into four tiers based on their needs and eligibility. The first tier will receive the highest monthly cash support. The government aims to target the most eligible families using precise targeting criteria to determine the necessary support. The new system also addresses the issue of some families being included in the support system while others are not, despite being more in need.

The source identified the eligible categories for adding newborns to their ration cards as those who are most entitled to social protection. These include owners of Takaful and Karama pensions, holders of comprehensive service cards, recipients of social pensions, children and wives of martyrs, children of alternative families, and irregular workers. These categories are considered the most eligible for support and social protection.

To add newborns to their ration cards electronically, citizens can follow a few simple steps. First, they need to log in to the digital Egypt portal, then choose the ration services option. Next, they need to click on "Add my family members" and agree to the conditions. After that, they need to enter the required data accurately. The basic conditions for adding a spouse or children include being the head of the family and the cardholder, not being among the ineligible categories for support, and not registering deceased individuals.
