How to avail of the 5k to 8k financial assistance of the DSWD?
- The DSWD will give the Social Amelioration Card (SAC) forms to the Local Government Unit. The LGU will then print out the SAC form and distribute it to their respective areas.
- The head of the family will fill out the SAC forms. Two forms will be given by the authorized personnel of the government. It should be printed in Capital letters. Make sure to fill it out correctly and completely.
- Return one copy to the person who will collect it while keeping the other copy for your reference.
- The SAC form will be a monitoring tool for the government to see who needs immediate assistance.
The SAC form cannot be downloaded or photocopy by anyone. Only the authorized personnel can distribute it.
According to the recent news, 4ps beneficiaries will not be given SAC forms since the money for assistance were already sent to their ATM cards. If you have any queries, you can contact the DSWD with this number 8-951-2803.
