“Warawut” confirms that tomorrow, ten thousand baht will go into the pockets of vulnerable groups.

"Warawut" confirms that tomorrow, 10,000 baht will definitely go into the pockets of vulnerable groups. As for those who missed out, registration will open by 3 Dec. Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Social Development and Human Security, said about the digital wallet project for the disabled and vulnerable groups that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security would like to thank the Prime Minister and the Cabinet for seeing the importance of vulnerable groups. There are still some disabled siblings who have received money from local governments but have not registered with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. The government and the Ministry of Finance have opened the opportunity for people to register by December 3rd to maintain their rights. The latest number of eligible people that the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security has sent to the Ministry of Finance is around 2,100,000 people, but it has been reported that around 30,000 disabled people have died in t he past month. At the same time, the number of disabled people has increased every month by around 2,000 people per month. If you deduct them, I am sure that the budget that the government has prepared is sufficient to take care of our disabled brothers and sisters. From the cut-off date on August 31, those whose names are already in the system, who already receive disability benefits, and have bank accounts will definitely receive 10,000 baht on September 25, which the Prime Minister will press the kick-off button to transfer the money into the accounts of those who are entitled. As for the number of disabled people who are still missing, we really can't answer that because each locality sometimes pays money to disabled people who are not registered. It's a local decision. And when they are not registered, we can't send the names to the Ministry of Finance. So we can't give an exact number. But we expect it won't be much because the local budget is not much. And there are groups of disabled people and elde rly people who may overlap. Source: Thai News Agency
