Private sectors workers who already availed of the social amelioration benefits from other government agencies will no longer qualify for the next round of measures of the Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) as the economic crises unravels.
Last week, Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III signed Department Orders 218 and 219 for the next round of implementation of two support programs using budget from Republic Act (RA) 11494.
In both issuances, Bello stated that beneficiaries from the following government programs are immediately excluded from the DOLE support programs: small business wage subsidy; social security system unemployment benefit; and, the cash assistance for rice farmers.
Also disqualified from the two programs are those who availed of the programs by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Specifically for the DOLE’s Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (Camp), owners, top management or workers with monthly gross salary of P40,000 and above, as well as foreign nationals except person of concerns (POCs), are also disqualified from the said program.
Previous beneficiaries
However, Labor Assistant Secretary Dominique R. Tutay said those who previously covered by the first round of Camp and Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Worker (Tupad) implementation could still reapply for the said programs.
“Based on [RA 11494], they may still benefit [from the two programs]; but the priority is really for those unserved and have not received any assistance yet,” Tutay told the BusinessMirror.
The DOLE said a total of 658,886 workers benefitted from Camp and 423,511 from Tupad during their initial implementation earlier this year.
With the additional funding from RA 11494, or the second “Bayanihan to Recover as One” Act, the DOLE is targeting to provide cash aid to 993,432 workers through Camp and emergency employment to 863,867 workers through Tupad.
CAMP Categories
The DOLE said it will be providing a one-time P5,000 financial aid to qualified Camp beneficiaries to “mitigate the immediate adverse economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic” on their livelihood.
They will also be extended with employment facilitation services and will be required to fill out the National Skills Registration Program.
Bello said he will be issuing separate Joint Memorandum Circulars to contain the guidelines on how the program will be implemented for education and the tourism sector.
He said companies, which suffered temporary or permanent closure due to lockdown measures against the Covid-19 pandemic may apply in the program for their workers.
Workers laid off may also individually apply for the program subject to submission of documentary requirements online before undergoing evaluation from the concerned Dole regional office.
Enhanced Tupad
TO provide more income to workers in the informal sector, self-employed individuals with elementary occupations and unpaid family workers, the DOLE extended the usual duration of Tupad to 14 days to 16 days.
Local government units (LGU) and accredited co-partner (ACP) will be primarily the ones to endorse the Tupad beneficiaries to DOLE, the labor department said.
Affected workers may signify their intent to join in the program through their LGUs. Only one beneficiary per family will be accommodated under the Tupad, the DOLE said.
Qualified beneficiaries of the program will first have to undergo the necessary orientation, which includes safe and health standards, before they could start with their emergency employment.
The task that will be assigned to them may include repair and maintenance of common public facilities, tree planting, assisting LGUs, transportation services for setting up mobile markets and the disinfection and sanitation of community.
The DOLE said it will be hiring program coordinators for the nationwide implementation of the enhanced Tupad.
Both DO 218 and 219 were signed by Bello on October 28, 2020.
