The Samurdhi Development Department says monthly benefits will be given to 393,094 Samurdhi beneficiaries from this month again.
That is with the government’s recent decision to pay benefits to those who were not selected for the Aswasuma scheme.
Samurdhi Director General Mr. Bandula Thilakasiri mentioned that it is planned to pay their dues through Samurdhi Banks.
Accordingly, all the 12,80,000 who applied for the Aswasuma social welfare benefits program by receiving the Samurdhi allowance will be entitled to a Samurdhi or Aswasuma benefit allowance.
Meanwhile, Samurdhi Officers Association General Secretary Mr. Chamara Maddumakaluge stated that Samurdhi beneficiaries should also be paid the allowance given to the Aswasuma beneficiaries.
