Check the Standards for Your Household
- Applies the publicly available 2026 median income for households ranging from 1 to 6 people.

- Shows at a glance which benefit's income standard range your entered Recognized Income falls within.
- For households with 7 or more people, we do not calculate arbitrarily but link you to the official guide.
Distinguishes between Salary and Recognized Income
- Actual assessments use Recognized Income, not your monthly salary or net income.
- An amount calculated by converting assets into income may be added.
- While the dependent support obligation criteria do not apply to Livelihood, Housing, and Education Benefits, separate verification is required for Medical Benefits.

- If you save your City/Province and City/County, support information available in that region will be displayed first.
- Nationwide common benefits and standards are not omitted even if you set a region.
- Items with publicly available eligibility and selection criteria can be checked directly from the list.
