Purpose: In this study, a research was conducted to determine the requirement score that can provide a more transparent structure in social assistance processes. In this direction, the main purpose of the study is to determine and prioritize the criteria that can be effective in the formation of the requirement score by Nominal Group Technique (NGT). Study design/methodology/approach: NGT is a systematic, guided approach to group decision-making that produces and ranks ideas in a group setting. By allowing everyone to participate and rank ideas, it makes to contributions organizations to investigate an issue fairly. For this purpose, two different NGT sessions were held. In the first session, fourteen criteria were determined by taking into account the preliminary assessment form used by the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundations to determine people in requirement. In the second session, the weighting of these criteria was carried out. NGT sessions were held with an expert group consisting of academics working in the relevant field and an expert working in the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation.Findings: The results show that the following factors should be taken into account when calculating the requirement score: monthly income, total amount of aid received, number of in-kind aid, number of household members the person is required to care for disability status, and chronic diseases. Furthermore, it was found that the two most crucial factors were the overall amount of aid received and the quantity of in-kind aid. Originality/value: One could argue that it is difficult to determine who exactly qualifies of the poverty in in the nations. Different factors are taken into consideration when evaluating in requirement by organizations such as the Red Cross, the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation, municipalities, and others. This hinders the development of a comprehensive strategy. The study in question adds to the pertinent literature by starting the process of coming to an agreement on the criteria and offering a comprehensive method for figuring out the requirement score
