The government extended the registrars to include over 200,000 unemployed to be qualified for the 2,000 baht stimulus money if they register for it before March 1st.
Labor Minister Paitoon Kaewthong stated that employees, who were either fired or quit but are still covered under the Social Insurance Fund within 8 months, are eligible to receive 2,000 baht stimulus money from the government.
