Submit the one copy of the SAC form to the LGU once they go back to your house and keep the other copy for your reference and monitoring.

Step 4

DSWD and other government agencies will distribute financial aid through the LGUs.

Remember that the SAC form is a validation tool only that aims to identify those who need immediate help.

The agency said everyone would benefit from Social Amelioration, but its distribution schedule depends on a family’s level of needs. DSWD asks for everyone’s cooperation, understanding, and help for the program’s implementation.
