MoGCSP warns public against fake GH¢1,350 social support scheme

The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has cautioned the public against a fraudulent message circulating on social media which claims the government has introduced a GH¢1,350 National Family Support Allowance.

In a statement issued on Thursday, January 8, the Ministry clarified that it has not launched any programme known as the “National Family Support Allowance”, nor has it opened registration for any such payment under the directive of President John Dramani Mahama or the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey.

The Ministry described the circulating announcement as false and misleading, stressing that no social protection programme offering GH¢1,350 over a three-month period exists under its mandate.

It further warned that the website link attached to the message is not an official Government of Ghana or Ministry platform and should not be trusted.

According to the Ministry, all legitimate social protection initiatives are announced through verified government channels, including official press releases, press conferences, the Ministry’s website and accredited media organisations.

The public has therefore been urged to disregard the message entirely, refrain from clicking on the link and avoid submitting any personal or financial information, as the content may be part of a scam targeting unsuspecting citizens.
