The Team Unity Government wishes to inform the public that Phase 1 of its Poverty Alleviation Programme has
started. The Poverty Alleviation Programme seeks to provide financial support of EC$500 per month to
households with a total gross monthly income below EC$3,000.
On Wednesday, August 1st, 2018, we launched the data gathering exercise that will be collecting important
information from persons who are applying for this $500 monthly support. This exercise is expected to conclude on
Wednesday, August 15th, 2018. We expect that the exercise will commence in Nevis after the Culturama
celebrations.
The application process is very simple:
– At your nearest assigned application centre, please present the following: proof of address, such as a utility bill
issued within the last two months; a picture ID, such as a passport, driver’s license or Social Security card, as well as
your Social Security number and most recent pay slip.
– Only one person per household (that is, the head of the household) will be required to apply by completing the
questionnaire.
– Courteous, professional and helpful data collectors at the designated centres will gladly assist you in filling out the
questionnaire.
– We intend to fully utilize the time allotted to the data gathering exercise to accommodate applications from all
parties who are qualified.
– It is important for those wishing to apply to this Poverty Alleviation Programme to know that all persons collecting
data have taken and are bound by oaths of confidentiality to safeguard the information collected. Your information
will be protected and be treated in the strictest confidence.
– We ask that all applicants be honest and forthright in their responses.
