Government Cash Subsidy Website Goes Live 普發現金6千元週三登記 共5種領取方式

Citizens will have their choice of five ways to collect their NT$6,000 subsidy. Direct deposit requires registering with the government, with different registration days for different ID numbers. Other choices include picking up cash at an ATM or post office.

The website and 1988 hotline for the NT$6,000 cash subsidy are live. Citizens can have the amount deposited directly into their accounts or get cash at ATMs or post offices. There is also a special pickup method for rural areas. Those that choose direct deposit will have to register with the government between the 22nd and 26th, with specific days designated based on the last number of citizens' ID numbers, or wait until the 27th to register. Starting March 28, citizens can go back to the website to check their status and registration information.

Lee Huai-jen, Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs: “You can get online on March 28 to check your account information. We will tell you if it's accurate or not. If it's not, we will ask you to edit your information. If you don't receive your subsidy, you can also check the website for more information. We will also tell you if your account number is correct or not.”

The Ministry of Finance says direct deposit and rural-area registration were the first two methods implemented because the special bill has to be passed by the legislature and be announced by the Presidential Office. This means citizens will receive the subsidy within five working days following the date announced by the Presidential Office to get their subsidy if they chose direct deposit. Those that choose to pick up cash from a post office or ATM will have to wait even longer.

Juan Ching-hwa, Deputy Finance Minister: “(People that choose to pick up cash) at a post office will have to wait up to 21 days after the (announced date) and up to 14 days if they choose ATM pickup at one close to 26,000 belonging to 13 banks. The banks have a market share of around 80 percent.”

The Ministry of Digital Affairs says people that pick up their subsidy from an ATM or post office don't have to register online and the government website will be up for at least six months so no one needs to be in a hurry to get their subsidy right away.

民眾期待已久的普發現金6000元即將上路，財政部上午召開記者會宣布，普發現金網站及客服專線1988正式上線。其中登記入帳採身分證尾數分流於本周三（22）日啟動，由尾數0和1開始先登記，再來依序是尾數2到9，27日開始才不分尾數通通都可以登記。

數位部次長李懷仁表示：「3月28日就可以上來查詢自己的帳戶是不是正確，我們會告訴你是否正確，如果錯誤的話，請你修改，到了時間發現你沒有入帳，你也可以來看，我們也會告訴你帳戶是否正確或錯誤。」

財政部表示，由於普發現金涉及立院三讀及總統公告，因此最先啟動的的是直接入帳及偏鄉造冊領取，也就是說3月22日線上登記啟動後，只要總統公告預算生效日後，不含假日的5個工作日內就會入帳。郵局、ATM的領取會比較晚開放。

財政部次長阮清華說：「郵局是（總統發布生效日）D+21天，然後ATM是D+14會啟動，有13家的金融機構已經納進來，目前的（ATM）台數接近2萬6000台，市占率大概80%幾。」

數位部也提醒民眾要使用ATM、郵局領現的民眾都不用線上登記。而採用登記的民眾，系統也將持續提供服務至少6個月，不必搶在第一時間登記。
