Yang Wen-chuen says that families which meet the low-income criteria can apply for assistance. However, if they don't meet these criteria, they can only apply for a lump sum emergency assistance payment of NT $ 10,000-20,000, an amount of limited use to a family that has lost its economic viability.
楊文娟指出，符合低收入戶條件的家庭可以申請補助，否則就只能申請一筆總數一到二萬元的「急難救助金」，對頓失經濟能力的家庭幫助十分有限。
