Types of Women Disqualified from the BISP 10500 Program
1. Women with Increased PMT Scores
Women who took the dynamic survey and saw their Poverty Means Test (PMT) scores go up are now disqualified. These women used to qualify but don’t anymore because their economic status improved.
2. Women Undergoing a Dynamic Survey
Women currently being checked through a dynamic survey are also at risk. They need to wait until September for their examination to be finished to know if they qualify.
3. Women Engaging in Self-Deduction
Women who take deductions themselves when getting money are disqualified. This includes those who pay agents a fee for early access to their funds, which goes against government rules.
How to Protect Yourself from Disqualification
1. Avoid Self-Deductions
Do not agree to any deductions by agents. Report any harassment or fee demands to the BISP office immediately.
2. Stay Informed
Keep updated with the latest news from BISP to understand the criteria and any changes to the program.
3. Follow Guidelines
Adhere to all the guidelines provided by BISP to maintain your eligibility.
Important Updates for BISP Beneficiaries
1. New Banking System
A new banking system with six extra banks is being launched. This will make it easier for beneficiaries to receive payments through ATMs.
2. Third Phase of Kafalat Program
The third and final phase of the current Kafalat program will start in the first week of July. Ensure all your information is updated to avoid any issues with payments.
