Financial Assistance for OFWs infected by COVID-19 in Kuwait | Diary ni Gracia

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

— George Bernhard Shaw

To help the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in this trying time of pandemic crisis, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), together with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO), offers financial assistance to the members of the OFW community in Kuwait who got infected and survived the COVID-19.

 

However, due to the sheer volume of applicants, the process of application is now online. Below is the step-by-step process of applying for financial assistance.

Conclusion of DOLE-AKAP Cash Assistance for OFWs in Kuwait

 

Many OFWs in Kuwait were relieved to hear the news that the Philippines’ Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO), would be providing cash assistance for overseas workers who were in no work no pay situation amid the pandemic crisis.

The program initially launched mid-April last year and urged qualified overseas workers to apply online. Ten thousand beneficiaries were initially allowed to receive US 200 or KD 61.500 from the DOLE’s “Abot Kamay ang Pagtulong” (AKAP- Reach Out to Help) financial aid.

However, Philippine Secretary of Labor Silvestre Bello III later said that the government had granted extra funding, thus allowing twenty thousand affected OFWs to benefit from DOLE’s cash assistance.
Many of our fellow overseas workers were hoping to be included in the list of beneficiaries.
As the quota of twenty thousand beneficiaries were reached and budget constraints, the DOLE-AKAP financial aid program had to be concluded.
The possibility of having a third batch of beneficiaries is not clear yet. However, as POLO announced, those whose names were listed will be the priority when it happens.
