The Social Security Office (SSO) on Tuesday clarified the latest aid payouts to workers affected by Covid-19, apparently to dispel confusion over eligibility and compensation amounts.
A payout is being offered to ease the financial burden on workers left struggling following the tightened lockdown and curfew announced last week.
Details about the aid money, however, have confused some people who have contacted the SSO to clarify matters.
SSO spokesman, Nanthachai Panyasurarit, said on Tuesday that the payout is split into two portions. Workers insured under Section 33 of the SSO law, who are mainly those working in offices, will either receive one or both portions.
