交通燈系統
當您領取福利時,您或伴侶有一些必須履行的事項(即您的義務)。我們的交通燈顏色系統能幫助您按部就班地履行部分義務。
Information
大多數獲得生活支持補助金的人沒有包括在交通燈系統之内。請參閱下列更多詳細資訊。
交通燈系統讓您知道自己處於什麽狀態以及需要做什麼。
- 綠色:如果您處於綠色狀態,則表示您正在按要求進行並履行您的義務。
- 橙色:如果您未履行義務並且沒能提供適當理由,則會轉爲橙色。這時您需要立即聯絡我們。如果您未能與我們聯絡並在 5 個工作日內恢復正常,則會轉爲紅色。
- 紅色:一旦處於紅色狀態,您的福利將會削減或停止。這時您需要立即聯絡我們以恢復正常。
如果您出於任何原因無法履行義務,請立即與我們聯絡。如果未收到您的來信,我們會在您轉為橙色之前嘗試與您聯絡,以了解您未能履行義務的原因。
我們會寄信給您,告知您現在處於橙色亦或紅色狀態。自 10 月初起,您亦可於 MyMSD 中查看您的狀態是否為橙色或紅色。
交通燈系統適合哪些人
如果您有工作相關義務及/或社會義務,則交通燈系統適用於您。這些義務包括:
- 找工作或為工作做準備
- 參加「工作能力評估」,助我們了解您可以從事何種工作
- 參加我們的服務機構組織的活動,以便找到工作或為工作做準備
- 社會義務(如照顧受養子女)。
工作相關義務及/或社會義務之相關福利
如果領取以下福利的其中一項,您或伴侶則需履行工作相關義務及/或社會義務:
- 求職者補助金,或
- 單親補助金
如果領取以下的其中一項,您或伴侶可能需要履行工作相關義務及/或社會義務:
- 緊急救助金,或
- 緊急情況贍養津貼。
生活支持補助金
大多數獲得生活支持補助金的人沒有包括在交通燈制度之内。其原因是您沒有找工作的義務。
交通燈系統只有在以下情況下才適用於您:
- 您正在照顧受養子女,即代表您有社會義務(確保子女能獲得健康檢查和教育)
- 經過評估認定您可以為工作做好準備,並且我們已就此與您進行溝通(只適用於少數人),或
- 我們已要求您進行「工作能力評估」或與跟我們簽約之服務機構進行配合(很少有人需要這樣做)。
如果您有伴侶,其義務可能會有所不同。這意味著即使交通燈系统不適用於您,亦可能適用於您的伴侶。
