13 July 2020 Printable Version

Rabat - The third payment of the exceptional aid granted to households working in the informal sector who have lost their sources of income due to lockdown will be made as of July 18, the Economic Monitoring Committee announced on Monday.

The payments will be made in the same way as the previous ones, the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administrative Reform said in a press release.

Thus, the head of household who has already benefited from the first two payments must send his/her national identity card number by SMS to 1212, the source pointed out, noting that sending this message will be worth declaration of honour that it is the only person in the household to benefit from this aid on the one hand and that he /she lost her sources of income during the month of June 2020 due to lockdown measures on the other hand.

The SMS message must be sent from the same phone number as that which was used for the previous operations, it said, adding that these messages should be sent between Wednesday July 15 at 8 a.m. and Friday July 17 at midnight.

Control operations will be carried out by the competent services and any false declaration is liable to prosecution and the sums unduly paid will have to be reimbursed, the ministry underlined.
