The Federal Government’s ₦50,000 one-off grant for selected vulnerable households can be checked through Moniepoint using a USSD code. Outlets report that eligibility status is confirmed via government screening, and that customers should be careful about scams related to the grant.
Legit.ng and The Punch both focus on how customers can access the eligibility-check process through Moniepoint, highlighting the use of a USSD channel and warning readers to avoid fees or fraudulent intermediaries. While both accounts stress that payment follows government verification, they differ in emphasis: one focuses on broader “codes, eligibility, steps” guidance, while another specifically frames the process for Moniepoint customers checking eligibility. Across the coverage, the common practical theme is that the USSD route is used to confirm whether a person is eligible before any payment is made.
Overall, the reporting centers on the eligibility-check mechanism, the role of government checks in determining who receives the support, and consumer-protection reminders aimed at preventing fraud.
