How to avail of DOLE's financial assistance program for workers affected by Luzon quarantine
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has allocated P1.3 billion to assist private sector workers affected by the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.
The COVID Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) will provide P5,000 one-time cash assistance to approximately 250,000 workers in private establishments that have adopted flexible work arrangements or temporarily closed.
This safety net program offers financial assistance support to affected workers in private establishments that have implemented flexible work arrangements or temporary closures due to COVID-19.
The program covers workers in private establishments affected by COVID-19 from its onset in January until the lifting of stringent social distancing measures on April 14, unless extended.
Affected workers can avail the financial assistance through their employers, which are micro, small or medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Senator Joel Villanueva lauded DOLE for its swift response and urged for the expedited implementation of the TUPAD program for informal sector workers.
