President Ferdinand “Bong-bong” Marcos has launched the UPLIFT (United Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport) Cash Assistance Program to help millions of Filipinos cope with the rising cost of living brought about by higher fuel prices and the economic effects of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
Under the program, qualified beneficiaries may receive ₱2,000 per month for six months, for a total of ₱12,000. Selected beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and the Walang Gutom Program may also receive additional one-time financial assistance.
Who May Qualify?
The UPLIFT Program targets the country’s most economically vulnerable families. Based on current government guidelines, the following groups may qualify:
- Low-income workers with verified records from the Social Security System (SSS)
- Poor and near-poor households identified through the 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)
Qualified beneficiaries are expected to receive ₱2,000 monthly from July to December 2026, totaling ₱12,000.
Is There an Online Application?
No. As of now, the government has not opened any online application or registration for the UPLIFT Cash Assistance Program.
Instead, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will identify and validate beneficiaries using existing government records, including SSS and the 2024 CBMS database. You can check if you are on the list of beneficiaries of the UPLIFT Program for Poor and Near-poor Families.
The public is advised to be cautious of fake registration links, unofficial websites, and social media posts claiming to offer online applications.

What to Do When “No Record Found” Appears in the UPLIFT G2P App?
Some UPLIFT beneficiaries may see a “No Record Found” message when they try to access the UPLIFT Government-to-Person (G2P) App. According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), this does not automatically mean that you are not qualified for the UPLIFT Assistance Program.
The UPLIFT G2P App makes it easier and more convenient for Group 2 beneficiaries to receive their succeeding cash assistance through their preferred digital wallet or bank account. However, you can only use the app after completing your initial manual payout. The initial manual payout is an important part of the program because it allows the DSWD to verify your identity and validate your beneficiary information before activating your account in the G2P App.
What Should You Do If You See “No Record Found”?
If the app displays “No Record Found,” follow these steps:
- Wait until you have completed your initial manual payout.
- Try accessing the G2P App again after your beneficiary information has been validated by the DSWD.
- Make sure you are using the correct personal information when logging in.
- Follow the official announcements of the DSWD regarding the activation of the UPLIFT G2P App for beneficiaries.
- Remember, “No Record Found” does not automatically mean you are excluded from the UPLIFT Program. Many beneficiaries will only be able to use the app after completing the required verification and manual payout process.
