The authorities in Trinidad and Tobago are undertaking house visits to applicants who have requested social assistance grants, to help them through the COVID-19 crisis.
The visits, being carried out by officials of the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services, are aimed at determining justified claims from fraudulent ones.
Following the implementation of stay at home restrictions on April 1, the ministry has received more than 900 applications for rental support in Trinidad.
The ministry says 90 per cent of these applications are actively being processed and verified via telephone and house visits by staff.
