291,000 4Ps beneficiaries in Central Luzon to receive emergency subsidy
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has started distributing emergency cash aid to 4Ps beneficiaries under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act.
As of April 5, 2020, a total of 3.732 million 4Ps beneficiaries have received their subsidies nationwide, amounting to P16.347 billion.
Recipients of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) need not fill up the Social Amelioration Card (SAC) forms as their cash subsidies have been directly deposited to their Automated Teller Machine (ATM) accounts.
For 4Ps beneficiaries without cash card accounts, funds have been downloaded to DSWD regional offices for manual payout.
The emergency subsidy for 4Ps beneficiaries is in addition to their regular monthly grants and rice subsidies.
The DSWD has reminded beneficiaries to rely only on official information released by the department.
