Cash support is a type of social assistance provided under the Law on the Encouragement of Social Assistance and Solidarity No. 3294. This assistance is offered to citizens between the ages of 18-55 who benefit from regular social assistance programs and are capable of working.

The purpose of this assistance is to facilitate citizens' job searches, increase their participation in the labor market, and find solutions to the problem of unemployment.

To benefit from the cash support, individuals receiving social assistance who are evaluated as capable of working by Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundations and are registered with İŞKUR must document that they have been directed to a job interview by İŞKUR and have started a job with social security coverage.
