BANGKOK(NNT)-The Ministry of Finance has dismissed as untrue reports that it will receive people’s complaints, about issues related to applications for the government’s 5,000 baht a month financial aid, at the ministry’s canteen.
The Ministry of Finance explained that those who are not qualified to receive the cash can file an appeal, after the government has finished checking the information of all 27 million applicants. Appeals can only be lodged online, which complies with the rule of social distancing. The government is expected to start receiving appeals on April 19 this year.
The Finance Ministry rejected reports that it will receive complaints at its canteen today (Apr 14). The reports were false, and people do not have to come to the ministry to submit their complaints.
The government’s website, for people to register to receive the cash handout, will add an “appeal” button next week. People can submit their appeals online, as the system is reliable, accurate and fast. To submit, they can contact Krungthai Bank’s (KTB) 24-hour hotline service at 021111144, or call the Fiscal Policy Office’s (FPO) call center at 022739020 during normal office hours.
