Executive Yuan promulgated a bill on “Financial relief subsidies for disadvantaged groups during the epidemic period”.
1. Economically disadvantaged people, disabled persons, elderly and children were more vulnerable to the COVID-19 induced economic slowdown. Hence, the government would provide additional subsidies to them.
2. The recipients would be the following (March to June 2020):
(1) Living allowance for disabled people.
(2) Living allowance for middle- and low-income seniors.
(3) Assistance for disadvantaged children and teenagers.
(4) Emergency funds for children and juveniles from disadvantaged families.
(5) Living allowance for children in low-income households.
(6) Subsidies for children in low-income households to attend school.
(7) Living allowance for children (including grandchildren) or education allowance for children (including grandchildren) from low-socioeconomic status.
(8) Children and adolescents (i.e., those under age 18) in low-income households and middle-income households who had not received any of the above-mentioned subsidies.
