The Government of Jamaica has launched a new support programme for:
✔️ Elderly persons without assistance
✔️ Persons with disabilities
✔️ Unemployed youth ages 18 to 35
✔️ Informal workers with low or no income
✔️ Persons without a birth certificate or ID
✔️ Micro businesses affected by disaster
✔️ Medically indigent individuals
You can apply through:

If you do not have documents, verification can still be done.
Once approved, you may also be referred for training, job placement, social pension, or help with TRN and registration.
