Morocco’s Ministry of the Interior is implementing a registration process for informal workers who are unable to work because of the lockdown laws.
Moroccan workers in the informal sector have been asked tp send their registration number under the National Medical Assistance Program (RAMED) to the toll-free number 1212.
Workers can also call the 1212 telephone number to request more information and assistance, or to file complaints.
On March 27, the Economic Monitoring Committee (CVE) announced the allocation of a monthly stipend for the workers who were forced to suspend their income-generating activities due to the national lockdown.
Workers in households of two people or less will receive MAD 800 ($80) monthly. Households of three to four people will receive MAD 1,000 ($100). Households of more than four members will benefit from MAD 1,200 ($120).
The distribution of financial assistance is set to begin on April 6 and citizens must complete the registration process online.
While the newly announced method only concerns workers who are already registered under the RAMED, the government stressed that all informal workers who can prove the suspension of their activity is due to the lockdown are eligible for financial aid.
However, authorities have not yet explained specifics how citizens can receive the stipend if they do not have a RAMED registration number.
Earlier this month, the CVE announced a similar measure for workers in the formal sector who are registered under the National Social Security Fund (CNSS).
This category of workers and employees will receive MAD 2,000 ($200) monthly, in addition to family allowances and medical coverage.
