Research direction

No implementation file or test is named. Start by reading the existing Nigerian tax-benefit model and comparing how other state programs are represented, then use the linked sources to confirm the Ekiti eligibility and payment rules. Done means the monthly transfer is represented for residents aged 65+ without a pension and earning under US$19.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Senior Citizen's Social Security Scheme in Ekiti State, Nigeria began in October 2011 and transfers US$33 monthly to residents aged 65 and over, who do not have a pension and whose monthly income is less than US$19.
