In a written statement, Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş stated that the Natural Gas Consumption Support, launched for citizens in need, was incorporated into regular social assistance programs in 2023 and offered to citizens.
Göktaş reminded that to benefit from the Regular Natural Gas Consumption Support, the applicant must be a Turkish citizen, apply through e-Government, and reside in a district or town with natural gas supply. He also emphasized that the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation must issue a beneficiary decision.

Göktaş stated that citizens can benefit from the assistance program without reapplying each payment period. They can regularly use the allocation amount set for their province by paying their household bills via the bill payment service at e-ailem.aile.gov.tr or with their Family Cards obtained from Halkbank branches through Halkbank/TAM ATMs.
Noting that payment amounts under the support program vary based on temperature differences between provinces, Göktaş said: 'Our support is paid every two months for the 8-month period covering October to May.'
'Under the Regular Natural Gas Consumption Support Program, we made a total payment of 158 million 836 thousand lira to 504,638 beneficiaries in the July 2026 period. In 2026, we provided a total of 1 billion 69 million lira in support to 617,680 beneficiaries.'
