DSWD gives P2.44B to low-income households
As of April 16, the DSWD has disbursed over P2.44 billion in emergency subsidies to 435,257 low-income households in 14 regions.
The CARAGA region received the largest payout with over P570.92 million benefiting 114,184 families.
The DSWD has downloaded over P71.785 billion to 1,325 LGUs, representing 88.53% of the P80 billion allocated fund.
LGUs, not the DSWD, are responsible for identifying and listing eligible beneficiaries and distributing the funds.
The DSWD's role in beneficiary validation is now limited to post-audit, with LGUs expected to start payouts five days from fund receipt.
The total number of target beneficiaries for the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) stood at 13,359,199 in 17 regions as of April 16.
The distribution of the first tranche of subsidies aims to be completed by the end of April.
