Presidency announces RD$1,500 extra cash payments for the poor

The Presidency launched another social program for the most vulnerable. In making the announcement on 18 July, President Luis Abinader said the Family Support Voucher will benefit one million households. The households will receive single cash payments of RD$1,500 to mitigate and counteract the effects of the post-pandemic crisis and the general increase in prices worldwide.

The President delivered the first Bono de Apoyo Familiar in an event in the municipal district of San Luis, Santo Domingo province. The program continues in San Cristóbal, Peravia, San José de Ocoa, Azua, Barahona, Pedernales, Independencia, Bahoruco, San Juan, Elías Piña, Monte Plata, Montecristi, Sánchez Ramírez, El Seibo and Dajabón. In a second phase, it will move to the rest of the country.

The program falls under the Social Cabinet head by Tony Peña Guaba.
