Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh said on Monday evening that another 13,168 citizens are getting their $100,000 cash grant, as the government continues distribution.
In an update shared on his Facebook page, Singh said 26,639 citizens successfully completed self-registration through the government’s newly launched online portal. He stated that the registration of 13,168 persons has been verified and processed, enabling deposits into their bank accounts within 24 hours. Verification and processing for the remaining registrants are ongoing.
He added that 48,858 public sector workers previously received the cash grants via their bank accounts. With those workers and the 13,000+ additional beneficiaries now receiving the transfer, Singh said the government has already transferred about $6.2 billion directly to Guyanese.
The Finance Minister also reported that more than 22,000 individuals have begun the process on the new portal, and urged them to complete registration in full.
