The following information is from the website of The Ministry of Labour and Security - PATH:
"PATH applicants are invited to visit the Ministry of Labour and Social Security’s office in their parish of residence to complete the application process. The process may also be undertaken at designated centres, communities or within homes of the elderly or persons with disabilities.
Demographic and other socio-economic data are collected on individual family members and the information entered into the Beneficiary Identification System (BIS). The BIS applies a Proxy Means Test to derive the family’s score. Families that have attained a score which is at or below the cut-off point established for the Programme are provisionally selected to participate. Final selection is subject to verification of the information provided during the application interview process.
Benefits are delivered to families for a period of four years, after which they are required to re-apply and be reassessed for continued eligibility.
Documents Required for Application Processing
- Birth Certificates for the Family Head
- Valid ID for the Family Head
- TRN for the Family Head
- Birth Certificates for all children living in the household
- Birth Certificate for Adults 60 and over who live in the household "
