How to Update the Survey in the Ehsaas Program
The Ehsaas Program is Pakistan’s largest social security network, providing essential financial assistance to millions of poor and deserving families. However, many recipients have recently been declared ineligible because their information is outdated, causing significant hardship for those who rely on this financial aid. The solution to this problem is that recipients need to update their Dynamic Survey to regain eligibility. This guide explains the importance of the Dynamic Survey and provides a step-by-step method to update it so that continuous support from the Ehsaas Program can be ensured.
Why is it Important to Update the Ehsaas Dynamic Survey?

As a result, updating the Dynamic Survey is crucial to maintaining eligibility and avoiding ineligibility.
