2:29Now PlayingWith the Public Assistance and Child Disability programs of the Welfare Unit nearing full capacity, a critical six-week review process for grant beneficiaries has begun. The review, running from September 9, 2024, through to October 18, 2024, is crucial for beneficiaries to update their information and renew their cards, ensuring that only eligible people continue to receive support.
Acting Deputy Director of the Welfare Unit, in the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice and Empower-ment Jahn McFarlane, highlighted the growing challenge of managing the grant programs, noting that there is currently a significant wait list for new applicants. Families whose children are turning 21 and aging out of the Child Disability Program are urged to act, as these beneficiaries may no longer qualify, but may be eligible for public assistance to continue receiving support.
