First phase of BR1M to be disbursed by Jan 28

PUTRAJAYA: The first phase of the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) 2016 will be disbursed beginning Jan 28.

Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah, in a statement today, said the disbursement was divided into four phases for aid given to households and the elderly.

“Recipients for individual categories will receive their aid immediately on Jan 28,” he said, adding that the government will also continue the Family Bereavement Scheme.

He said the payment will be credited directly into the recipients’ bank account.

“Those who did not provide their bank account details will receive a voucher which can be cashed at any Bank Simpanan Nasional outlet,” he said.

Husni said, as for the Family Bereavement Scheme, a total of RM1,000 will be given to the next-of-kin of BR1M recipients under the household and elderly category.

“The next-of kin can claim the cash from any BSN outlets by producing a valid death certificate and original identification card.

“Only those who are named in the BR1M application forms can claim the aid,” he said.

Husni urged those who have yet to update their latest information to do it as soon as possible at the nearest Inland Revenue Board (IRB) office.-NST
