The Legislative Yuan passed amendments raising the monthly allowance for elderly farmers from NT$8,110 to NT$15,000, and eased eligibility requirements, with the changes taking effect retroactively from July 1. The amendments also introduce a mechanism to review the allowance every two years, with the central government covering additional costs if the consumer price index rises by 3 percent. The non-agricultural income threshold for applicants was raised from NT$500,000 to NT$600,000.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The amendments increase social welfare spending and raise the ceiling on the assessed value of land and housing for applicants. The changes were passed after the Chinese Nationalist Party and Taiwan People’s Party caucuses jointly proposed the NT$15,000 increase, contrasting with the Cabinet’s initial proposal of NT$10,000.
