If a family in need of social protection is left without it, who does this system work for?
A family living with three minor children in the Qaltotoy village of Qamashi district, Kashkadarya region, has not been able to receive children's allowances for four months. The family's breadwinner, J. Pardayev, is currently in prison, and the mother is busy raising the children.
It is reported that the reason social assistance is not being assigned to a family in such a difficult situation is related to incorrectly registered information.
According to the appeal, there is a power of attorney in the notary database for a car that does not belong to the family. This exact information caused a rejection during the assessment of the family's social status. The family states that they have not even seen this car, have not used it, and do not own it as property.
As a result, a family raising three minor children, effectively deprived of its breadwinner, has been left without children's allowances for four months.
And the most serious question is related to the actual function of the social protection system in the neighborhood.
According to the applicant, instead of finding a solution to this situation, the social worker and the neighborhood "seven" are limiting themselves to the rejection response of the scoring system.
After all, isn't the duty of a social worker not just to view information in the electronic system and repeat it? Isn't one of their main tasks to study the family's actual social situation, determine their needs, and help provide necessary assistance?
If the family's breadwinner is in prison and the mother is busy raising three minor children, how can a power of attorney for a car that they do not actually use and that does not belong to them be evaluated as the family's financial capability?
There is another important aspect here: a power of attorney does not automatically mean that the ownership right of the car belongs to the family. Therefore, the impact of this information on the assignment of allowances must also be checked with legal and factual grounds.
To the attention of the National Agency for Social Protection!
If one of the families most in need of social protection has not been able to receive children's allowances for four months, this situation raises serious questions about the actual effectiveness of the system.
It is necessary to study this family by visiting their place of residence, clarify the actual status of the car power of attorney, and check what measures were taken by the social worker and the neighborhood "seven". Most importantly, we must not forget that behind the rejection in the electronic system lie the needs of three children in real life.
Should the social protection system work to assess a person's real situation, or should a person's fate be tied to a single piece of information in an electronic system?
EFFECT.UZ editorial office asks the National Agency for Social Protection to study this appeal, check the information that served as the basis for the rejection issued to the family, and express an official position regarding a legal solution.
