- Pursuant to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM)-Departrnent of Education (DepEd) Joint Circular (JC) No. 1, s. 2021 titled Revised Guidelines oh the Grant of Special Hardship Allowance, DepEd issued DepEd Order (DO) No. 039, s. 2021 otherwise known as the Guidelines on the Provision of Special Hardship Allowance for Public School Teachers.
- As provided in Section VI.1.e of the said DO, the teachers who are assigned to schools with Hardship Index (HI) of 0.37 and above are eligible to receive Special Hardship Allowance (SHA). The distribution of the Hardship Index of all schools connotes similarity of characteristics among schools belonging to 0.37 to 0.33. This condition allows an increase in the provision of SHA by lowering the HI cut-off. To further expand the list of hardship post schools as provided in Annex A of DO 039, s. 2021, Section VI. l.e is amended and shall be read as follows:
- Section VI.1.e
- For FY 2023, teachers assigned in schools with HI of 0.33 and above shall be eligible to receive SHA. Attached as Revised Annex A is the updated list of hardship posts with the corresponding HI.
- Enclosed is the Revised Annex A for the updated list of hardship post schools eligible for SHA for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 with HI 0.33 and above. Note, however, that a separate policy shall be issued for the next three-year guideline on SHA implementation starting FY 2024.
- All other provisions of the said guidelines not affected by these changes shall remain in effect.
