#DOLE financial assistance programs

As the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) winds up its social amelioration programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has reportedly distributed cash aid to over 1 million workers nationwide. The Department of Labor and Employment opens the second tranche of its cash assistance program, the DOLE COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP), for private-sector workers who have been displaced or affected by the pandemic. Select the Apply for CAMP Financial Assistance and choose the preferred application:  Apply as Establishment, Apply as DOT Accredited Establishment, and Displaced and Temporarily Laid-off Workers. The local government unit of Makati City recently announced the MAKA-tulong P5K for 500K, a financial assistance program for Makati residents. To ensure the health and safety of the recipients, the financial assistance will be disbursed through their respective Makatizen e-wallet accounts powered by GCash. Since the financial assistance is on an individual basis, households may get as much as PHP 25,000 depending on the number of qualified applicants for the program. Qualified beneficiaries may withdraw the PHP 5,000 financial assistance via GCash Cash In/Cash Out agents. The financial assistance may be used to buy food and other products in the e-commerce services of the Makatizen App. Read more in our articles including "DOLE distributed cash assistance to over 1 million workers" and "DOLE opens online system for cash assistance applications".
