Cordillera LGUs liquidate 100% of SAP funds: DSWD
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) announced that 73.5% of local government units (LGUs), totaling 944, have completed the liquidation of the first tranche of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
All 77 LGUs in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) have achieved a 100% accomplishment rate in liquidating SAP funds.
This completion paves the way for the imminent distribution of the second SAP tranche to an estimated 17 million beneficiaries.
A total of PHP99.7 billion in cash subsidies from the first tranche was disbursed to 17.64 million low-income households impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In CAR, 299,000 families benefited from the first tranche amounting to PHP1.56 million, although the liquidation is only 98% of the total amount disbursed due to the return of PHP19.5 million in excess funds by 21 LGUs.
DSWD-CAR has encoded 94% of the report and aims to finish encoding and validation by next week.
This encoding is crucial for the second tranche distribution, ensuring that names of beneficiaries who received duplicate or excessive aid are removed from the list.
