"Since the Sub-AROs have been issued to the respective DepEd Regional Offices Proper, the corresponding cash allocations have to be released to the said DepEd-ROs. Hence, the DepEd- ROs have to closely coordinate with their DBM counterparts in their respective Regions for the issuance of Notices of Cash Allocation (NCAs) though we, in the Central Office, are making representations to the DBM-CO for the early release of the NCAs," said Sevilla.

"The DepEd-ROs, however, may adopt other arrangements/procedures to facilitate the payment of the remaining unpaid balance of the 2019 SRI," the undersecretary added.

"Upon receipt of the cash allocations to cover the cash requirements of the Sub-AROs for the purpose, it is expected that all DepEd teaching and non-teaching personnel will be paid of the subject personnel benefit considering that the allotment downloaded to the ROs to cover the remaining unpaid portion of the 2019 SRI was based on the validated number of employees qualified for the grant of the subject benefit as submitted to the Budget Division, Finance Service, DepEd-Central Office by the concerned DepEd-ROs," Undersecretary Sevilla ended.
