An additional £5.6m of targeted government support is set to help vulnerable residents next month.
A second round of the Long Term Benefits Support Payment will be made to those who didn't receive an Energy Support Payment, but get certain long-term benefits and pensions.
The support will automatically go to those living at home who receive an Isle of Man state pension, along with those who are long-term sick, disabled adults, carers and the recently bereaved.
The payment is part of the government's programme of support which totalled £12m in 2022.
The full proposals will be put to Tynwald this month for approval.
