The Employment and Labour Ministry yesterday announced an extension to the COVID-19 TERS relief payments that it has provided to ordinary workers in this country to shield them from the worst effects of the pandemic and to ensure that their families are not pulled into abject poverty.

Following due diligence and consultation with the Unemployment Insurance Fund actuaries, and in line with the President's decision to extend the life of the Disaster Management Act until 15th August, they have taken the decision to similarly extend the COVID-19 TERS benefit until 15th August 2020.

The benefit structure and existing criteria remain the same. They are considering closing the April, May and June applications at the end of July 2020; all valid applications already received for these two months will be processed.
