The Government today said about three million people who collected the first consumption voucher via Octopus on August 1 and whose cumulative total has reached $4,000 by the end of November will receive the remaining $1,000 voucher on December 16.

They will also successively receive an SMS concerning the disbursement on that day.

According to the disbursement arrangement, for people collecting the vouchers via Octopus, the last $1,000 voucher will be disbursed on the 16th day of the following month after the target spending of $4,000 has been achieved within a specified period from the first voucher’s disbursement.

The specified period refers to the fourth to seventh month after the first voucher has been disbursed.

Taking the people who collected the first voucher on August 1 as an example, they should ensure their eligible spending reaches $4,000 by end-February next year at the latest in order to receive the last voucher on March 16, 2022.

Meanwhile, those who received the first and second vouchers on August 1 and October 1 via AlipayHK, Tap & Go or WeChat Pay HK are reminded that their vouchers’ validity period will expire concurrently on December 31.

The unused voucher value will automatically become invalid after the expiry date.
