About two months ago, the Department of Health (DOH) requested for the issuance of a special allotment release order and notice of cash allocation amounting to P27.453 billion.
This will cover the payment of roughly five million remaining validated unpaid HEA and over 4,000 COVID sickness and death compensation claims of eligible health care and non-health care workers.
This was also presented to the Senate and was initially proposed to be included in the DOH's budget for 2025.
At the time, the DBM said DOH should develop a HEA mapping that will capture and present all Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowances (PHEBA) claims and payments by region and health facilities.
