Important notes
- Issuance of a Solo Parent ID is subject to CSWDO assessment and approval; it does not guarantee automatic Solo Parent status, and continuing eligibility is subject to renewal and reassessment under national guidelines.
- The Charter's eligibility wording refers to a declaration decreed by 'a court or by a church,' while national law (RA 11861 and its Revised IRR) refers to a court recognized by law or an applicable divorce. This publication preserves the Charter's wording without alteration.
