What you have to do
All that beneficiaries have to do is make a simple application. The EAC has the list of beneficiaries as sent by the Ministry of Labor each month. Any beneficiary who makes the relevant application to the EAC offices, automatically receives 20% in the account. All the EAC does is check if the applicant's identity is on the list sent by the Ministry of Labor. The EAC does not make any other checks on the applicant's assets or other information.

Beneficiary and without your name in the account
It is worth mentioning that someone is a beneficiary even if he does not have an EAC account in his name, that is, he stays with his family or relatives. In such a case, he is still entitled to the discount for the house where they live. The homeowner, who has the account in his name, can apply for a discount if the person living in his home is a beneficiary. For more information you can contact the EAC.
