Hi, Dr. MEL. I’ve learned that the strategy adopted to recognize the target recipient should also be evaluated in program evaluation. I wonder how SWD can know that the recipients of the GD scheme are living in GD?

Following the previous post, may I ask that whether OAA recipients under the GD Scheme can also convert to OALA under the GD Scheme?

I’ve learned that some programs may be composed of various schemes to suit different needs. For example, older adults can apply for different allowances or supplements under Social Security Allowance Scheme in Hong Kong. Therefore, I wonder if it’s also the case between OALA and OALA under Guangdong Scheme. Can older adults who are now receiving OALA convert to OALA under the Guangdong Scheme?

Hi, MEL professionals. I know that there are constraints for the target groups of specific services, but I am not sure if these constraints also include their families? I mean, if either the applicant’s partner has a higher income than the prescribed limits, can the applicant still apply for OALA?
