DSWD to Senior Citizens and PWDs: Claim Your SAP Aid

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) appeals to all senior citizens and Persons With Disability (PWDs) to put in mind that they should claim their cash subsidies under the agency’s Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

Since senior citizens are still prohibited to go outside of their homes amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, relatives or any representative are urged to get their aid on their behalf.

Cash cards for the second tranche of SAP and manual and digital distribution methods through financial service providers are now being implemented by the DSWD. Representatives however, are reminded to strictly observe health and safety protocols upon claiming.

Meanwhile, Indigent Senior Citizens will also be aided through the agency’s house-to-house delivery.

DSWD ensures the safety and welfare of all senior citizens especially during these trying times where health is the utmost risk. (MLC)
