Is It True That Uzbek Citizens Can Receive Up to 35 Million Soums in Social Assistance?
A message is circulating online claiming that citizens of Uzbekistan can receive up to 35 million soums under a new social support program. The message invites people to check their eligibility by visiting the website uzbekiston.polmark2026.xyz.
Such claims may attract particular attention from people in need of financial assistance. However, the message does not clearly explain who is eligible, what requirements applicants must meet, or which government agency is responsible for the alleged program.
During the fact-check, no official document or government announcement confirming the claim about assistance of up to 35 million soums was identified. The link also redirects users to another address, which does not establish that the website is official.
What Is the Claim About?
The circulating message states that Uzbek citizens may receive up to 35,000,000 soums in financial assistance through a new social support program. Users are encouraged to follow the provided link to check their eligibility.
However, several important questions remain unanswered:
Which government agency or organization launched the program?
Who is eligible, and what criteria are used to select applicants?
Is the 35 million soums a one-time payment or another form of financial support?
Where will the funding come from?
Where is the official decision or legal document authorizing the program?
What is the official application procedure?
Without answers to these questions, it is difficult to verify the promise or establish its legal basis.
Does Uzbekistan Have Social Assistance Programs?
Yes. Uzbekistan has government programs designed to support low-income families and certain categories of citizens. Therefore, it would not be accurate to automatically classify every claim about social assistance as false. However, the existence of legitimate assistance programs does not confirm every promise circulated by unknown sources.
For example, the Unified Portal of Interactive Public Services provides an official service for applying for child benefits or financial assistance. According to the portal, the service is based on Resolution No. 35 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, dated January 29, 2026. Applications are reviewed by the National Agency for Social Protection according to established criteria. The service is free, and the processing period may take up to one month.
Official service: https://my.gov.uz/uz/service/1017 There are also established procedures for families seeking inclusion in the Social Register. Citizens can learn about the requirements and apply through the official portal. Official service: https://my.gov.uz/uz/service/587
These examples confirm that government social assistance mechanisms exist. However, they operate under specific eligibility criteria and procedures; they should not be interpreted as a universal program offering the same amount of money to every citizen.
What Do Official Assistance Amounts Show?
From July 1, 2026, monthly financial assistance for families included in the Social Register was set at 450,000 soums. Child benefit amounts vary depending on the children's ages and the number of children in a family.
These figures have been published by official government sources.
However, the difference between these payments and the advertised 35 million soums does not, by itself, prove that other forms of targeted assistance are unavailable. Certain programs may provide support for specific needs, such as education, housing, or entrepreneurship.
The key question is therefore not simply the amount of money being promised, but whether there is reliable information explaining which program provides the 35 million soums, who qualifies, and under what conditions.
The message being examined provides no such details. No document confirming the specific promise was identified among the official sources reviewed.
Is the Link Trustworthy?
According to the information provided for this fact-check, the link uzbekiston.polmark2026.xyz redirects users to another address: uzbekistan-online-2026.vercel.app.
This does not establish that the website belongs to an official government institution. The use of words such as “Uzbekistan” or “2026” in a web address is not proof of government affiliation.
At the same time, a redirect alone does not conclusively prove that a website was created for fraudulent purposes. Further investigation would be needed to establish who operates the site, what information it collects, and how that information is used.
Nevertheless, the absence of an official document, the lack of a clearly identified responsible agency, and the promise of a large payment through a link whose official status has not been established are reasons for caution.
What Warning Signs Are Present?
First, a large sum of money is being promised. A claim offering up to 35 million soums may encourage people to click the link quickly. However, the size of the promised payment does not prove that the offer is genuine.
Second, no legal basis is provided. The message does not identify a relevant government decision, the name of the program, the responsible organization, or an official announcement. Reliable information about a government program should make it possible to verify its source and conditions.
Third, the eligibility criteria are unclear. The message does not explain who can apply, how applications are assessed, or how payments are allocated.
Fourth, the link's official status has not been established. The wording of a website address or its visual appearance cannot prove that it belongs to a government institution.
These warning signs justify treating the message with caution. However, without additional evidence, it would not meet fact-checking standards to definitively label the website fraudulent.
What Should Citizens Do?
Anyone wishing to check their eligibility for social assistance should consult official sources first.
They can:
Check the official service for child benefits or financial assistance on the my.gov.uz portal.
Review the official service for inclusion in the Social Register.
Contact the relevant government agency through its official website or verified communication channels.
Citizens should not enter passport details, full bank card information, CVV codes, or SMS verification codes on suspicious websites. If a website requests an advance commission or other payment in exchange for assistance, they should not send money until the legitimacy of the offer has been verified.
If personal or banking information has already been entered, the person should contact their bank, check account activity, and take appropriate security measures.
During this fact-check, no official document or government announcement confirming the claim that Uzbek citizens can receive up to 35 million soums in social assistance was identified. The message does not specify the program's name, payment conditions, or responsible agency. Furthermore, the supplied link redirects to another address, and its official status has not been established.
Uzbekistan does have legitimate social assistance programs, but their eligibility criteria and payment amounts are governed by specific rules and official documents. Their existence does not validate financial promises circulated online by unknown sources.
Final fact-check verdict: UNVERIFIED.
