The Ministry of Investment, Innovation and Social Development today confirms that all recipients of Permanent Financial Assistance will receive an additional amount of $150.00 with their standard financial assistance distribution for this month.

The Hon. Minister André Ebanks explained, “This increased permanent financial assistance distribution, while modest and funded by identified savings, is intended to provide additional assistance during the holiday season more than 1,050 persons who are elderly and in need, as well as those who cannot have a livelihood because of a permanent physical or mental disability. It will be included with the Needs Assessment Unit’s December 2021 distribution.”
