English term or phrase: means-tested benefits
What is the best Arabic translation for this term? For "means test," I've found استطلاع الموارد and for "means-tested benefits," I've seen إعانات الموارد المستطلعة and إعانات مستطلعة الموارد but both of them seem to be missing something in the Arabic. Is there a better way to say this?

The reference is to government benefits which are scaled according to a person's actual needs, as determined by a means test.
