On the first day of the pandemic, vulnerable people or holders of state welfare cards and people with disabilities whose ID card numbers end in 0 in the government’s 2024 economic stimulus program will receive 10,000 baht in cash. They all said in one voice that they were glad that they had been waiting for a long time.
The atmosphere in front of the Savings Bank in the City Hall area, Khon Kaen Province. People who received 10,000 baht were found waiting to withdraw cash from the morning. Most of them will withdraw money through the bank account book.
Mrs. Pisamai Tipdong, 62 years old, who has a state welfare card, said that she came with her grandchild today to withdraw a total of 10,000 baht in cash to be used for daily expenses. In the early days, I was still confused about the procedure and kept following the news about when I would receive the money until today.
Mr. Yuttajak Srikatman, a 52-year-old disabled person with a disability card, said that he was very happy to receive the money, which was
10,000 baht, which he withdrew 9,000 baht from another bank account and will deposit his savings with the savings bank to expand his savings. They see it as useful for people who have no income, they can be used to further invest or spend on daily life, and it is a large amount of money for people who lack income.
The staff of the Savings Bank provided information that there were no system problems this morning. As for the vulnerable groups who received the money today. Most of them have already inquired before, such as checking rights, adjusting the bank account book, and asking about opening a PromptPay account. There are some who still do not understand the measures to receive money. The bank staff has introduced the procedure and date of receiving the money in the order of the last number of the ID card, and the Savings Bank has a policy that those who receive money from the government do not have to deduct the loan by automatic debit. They want the public to receive the full amount of money, which until
now has not been found.

I have been waiting for a long time and thank the government for helping people in all groups.
