Selangor expands Kita Selangor Voucher eligibility, households earning RM8,000 or below now qualify

Shah Alam, September 21 — The Selangor government has broadened the eligibility criteria for the Kita Selangor Voucher (BKS) to encompass households earning RM8,000 or less per month. State Women’s Development and Social Welfare Committee chairperson Anfaal Saari announced that this expanded program forms part of the Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package, aimed at supporting citizens grappling with soaring living costs and economic instability stemming from global supply chain disruptions.

Initially, the program targeted vulnerable demographics like single mothers and heads of impoverished households, before being extended further to households earning up to RM5,000 monthly.

Saari stated that the eligibility threshold has now been lifted to include households earning RM8,000 or below. Prospective applicants must submit their applications through the SELangkah application platform. Individuals currently under evaluation, previously denied, or appealing their status will undergo reassessment based on the updated guidelines.

To be eligible, applicants must be Malaysian citizens and registered voters residing in Selangor. Married couples or single parents must have at least one child aged 18 years or younger, and the household income must be RM8,000 or less. The program allows for only one beneficiary per household, and applicants must not be concurrently receiving the Selangor Prosperous Living Aid (BINGKAS) benefits.
