When disasters hit, many of us scramble to find help.
If you’ve come across something called “GCash Calamity Assistance,” here’s the truth:
It’s not free cash or government aid.
Instead, what GCash offers is the Fuse Calamity Assistance Program — a temporary relief option for borrowers who are affected by calamities.
What Is the Fuse Calamity Assistance Program by GCash?
This is a 15-day grace period for those who have active GLoan or GGives accounts.
If your area has been declared under a state of calamity, you are allowed:
- 15 days to settle your due payments without penalties
- No late fees will be charged during the grace period
- If your GCash wallet has funds, auto-debit may still occur, but again — no penalties as long as you pay within the period
This program gives you breathing space to recover, especially after typhoons, floods, or other major disasters.
Who Can Avail of the Program?
You may qualify if:
- You live in an area officially declared under a state of calamity
- Your loan is currently in good standing
- Your address is properly updated on the GCash app (you may need to update it and submit a valid ID if you’re not automatically tagged)
Scam Alert: Beware of Fake GCash “Calamity Assistance” Offers
Some scammers take advantage of emergencies.
They send fake SMS or links, pretending you can “claim” cash aid through GCash.
Please remember:
- GCash will never send links asking for your MPIN, OTP, or personal information
- Always verify through the GCash Help Center or official app notifications
- Never click unknown links promising cash aid
Summary: What’s in It for You?
- Not direct cash aid
- A temporary payment break for GLoan and GGives users
- Helps you avoid added stress after a disaster
- Automatically applies to qualified borrowers in affected areas
