Digital Accounts and Support Plans for Low-Income Citizens (HOPE Act)
This Act aims to simplify access to social and financial aid by creating digital HOPE Accounts. Low-income citizens will be able to use a smartphone application to simultaneously apply for various benefits, monitor their status, and manage their personal finances and savings. The project seeks to reduce bureaucracy and the time required to obtain support, while strictly protecting data privacy and ensuring access to necessary devices and internet services.
