DPI, Guyana, Thursday, May 28, 2020

To counteract the impact of the novel coronavirus, the Ministry of Social Protection has accelerated its services and will be providing support to eligible citizens.

The Ministry in a statement yesterday said only individuals/households who meet at least one of the following criteria will qualify for consideration;

    • Individual/Household currently benefiting from Public Assistance provided by the Ministry of Social Protection (MOSP).
    • Individual/Household who applied for Public Assistance and are awaiting a response from MOSP.
    • Individual/Household who suffered a loss of income due to COVID-19.
    • Household headed by senior citizens or persons with disabilities.

Persons are required to fill out the COVID-19 Public Assistance Form which can be accessed on the Ministry of Social Protection’s website at https://mosp.gov.gy/ or   https://government.gy/eform/241.

Completing this requirement is important as it helps to identify and provide much needed tangible support for vulnerable households affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further, the Social Protection Ministry is collaborating with the University of Guyana students [Masters in Social Work Class] to assist eligible persons who may have difficulties filling out the form online.

These persons are encouraged to call the numbers provided below on the specified days and times only for assistance.
