5,000-baht SSF stipend moves forth
The Finance Ministry has approved the Labour Ministry’s proposal to provide leftover budget as a cash handout of 5,000 baht a month to nearly 90,000 workers registered under the Social Security Fund who were affected by the pandemic.
“The Social Security Office (SSO) has submitted a letter to the Finance Ministry requesting additional payment for this group to receive a stipend of 5,000 baht a month, the same amount as self-employed workers,” said Labour Minister MR Chatu Mongkol Sonakul. “The finance minister has approved the request.”
