So if you applied for the payroll survival fund category and have not started receiving your payment, stay calm as payment is ongoing.

Verification is still ongoing as the payroll support scheme targets supporting 500,000 vulnerable MSMEs in meeting their payroll obligations of up to N50,000 per employee during the duration of 3 months, starting from October.
