Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amy (not her real name) was retrenched from her job as a cashier in August. As she struggled to find a new job, she worried about how she would fund her household expenditure.

Thankfully, Amy heard about the COVID-19 Support Grant (CSG). She applied for it and was successful. The support will help her through this difficult period, while she looks for a job.

CSG applications are open till 31 Dec 2020. Apply online at: go.gov.sg/CSG

Let’s strive towards a more inclusive society, one that removes barriers for those with disabilities. #InclusiveSG
