Outstanding “Aswesuma” welfare payments to be deposited in beneficiaries’ bank accounts

Date:

December 27, Colombo (LNW): Beneficiaries of the Aswesuma social welfare scheme can begin receiving their outstanding payments from today, directly through their bank accounts, the Welfare Benefits Board (WBB) announced.

This initiative follows efforts to ensure the timely disbursement of overdue funds to those eligible under the first phase of the scheme.

According to Jayantha Wijeratne, Chairman of the Welfare Benefits Board, a total of 212,423 qualifying families will benefit from the transfer of these outstanding payments.

Over Rs. 1.3 billion has been allocated for the pending disbursements, with the WBB facilitating the deposit of the funds into the designated bank accounts of the recipients.

This move is expected to provide financial relief to the families awaiting their payments under the Aswesuma scheme, which aims to improve the welfare of vulnerable households across Sri Lanka.

The WBB has reassured recipients that all necessary steps have been taken to ensure the smooth and efficient transfer of funds.
