Households That Missed the Kalabarg Top-Up Form Are to Get One More Week

Yaghoub Andayesh, deputy minister of cooperatives, labour and social welfare for welfare and economic affairs, said on Monday, October 26, 2026 (4 Aban 1405) that a further one-week window is planned for households that received the text message to register for the Kalabarg credit top-up but did not finish the self-declaration form in time. Khabar Online reported his remarks citing ISNA. The report gives no start or end date for the new window.

According to the same report, text messages went to 18.3 million heads of household, covering about 40 million people, and registration is done through the "My Government" portal. The first deadline was 21 Mehr (October 13) and was extended to 27 Mehr (October 19). Andayesh added that households that received no message at all were also discussed at the meeting and will be given a chance to apply; whether they qualify will be decided after their data is reviewed.
