About 130,000 people who have collected the consumption voucher of the previous round via Octopus will receive the remaining $1,000 voucher on March 16, the Government announced today.

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

The people concerned may collect the vouchers by tapping the card at the Subsidy Collection Points of the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme, designated convenience stores and supermarkets, Octopus Service Points or via the Octopus mobile app. 

The deadline for collection is September 30.

Due to the severe epidemic situation in recent months, a very small proportion of people who have received their previous-round vouchers through Octopus, may not be able to achieve the cumulative total eligible spending requirement of $4,000 with a small shortfall by the deadline.

Hence, the Government decided to make the special arrangement to disburse the last $1,000 voucher on March 16 to all those who have not yet received the disbursement. The deadline for collection is also September 30.

The public may enquire about the value of the vouchers disbursed, uncollected voucher balance and expiry dates through the Octopus mobile app, website or customer service hotline at 2969 5500.
