The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda), together with the Ministry of Finance and the Financial Supervisory Commission, held a press conference today to announce the launch of the "Universal Cash Payment for All" website. The press conference also explained the opening hours and the ways of the "Registration and Payment" system (https://6000.gov.tw).

Moda’s Deputy Minister Lee Huai-jen explained that the "Universal Cash for All" will be released after the "Special Regulations on Strengthening Economic and Social Resilience After the Pandemic and Sharing Economic Results for All " is passed by the Legislative Yuan and the budget announced by the President takes effect. In order to allow the public to receive the NT$6,000 as soon as possible, the moda opened the online registration system on March 22, so that eligible citizens can register online and receive their payments as soon as possible.

The first 5 days (from March 22 to March 26), online registration will be open to specific last number of ID or resident certificate, and only those who meet the last number will be able to register; from March 27, online registration will be open to all eligible individuals regardless of their number. The dates and order of the streams are as follows.
1.    March 22: ID or resident certificate ends in 0 and 1 can register online.
2.    March 23: ID or resident certificate ends in 2 and 3 can register online.
3.    March 24: ID or resident certificate ends with 4 and 5 can register online.
4.    March 25: ID or resident certificate ends with 6 and 7 can register online.
5.    March 26: ID or resident certificate ends with 8 and 9 can register online.
6.    After March 27, all eligible individuals can register online.

Lee explained that if you choose to register online, just simply visit https://6000.gov.tw using your cell phone, tablet or computer, enter your ID or resident certificate number, financial institution account number and health insurance card number, and complete your registration when it appears on the "Registration Results" page. After completing the registration, you can also check the registered information on the website since March 28.

Lee reminded that during the peak hour on the registration website, the "waiting room" mechanism will be activated. When you see the waiting room page, please do not close your browser. Please prepare your ID or resident certificate number, health insurance card number and your financial account, etc., and be patient in the waiting room.

Lee emphasized that no matter what time of day the registration is done, people will receive the tax surplus payment after the special budget has completed the statutory procedures and announced by the president. The registration website will provide services for at least 6 months. People do not need to worry nor rush to register at once.

Lee explained again that people who use ATM cash or visit post office do not need to register online. In addition, specific groups of people also do not need to register online first.

The government will not send text messages or emails to notify people of the payment or registration information, nor will the government call to request a transfer to an ATM or Internet bank. If you receive a message like this, please call the 165 Anti-Fraud Hotline immediately. Please do not click on suspicious links from unknown sources, and to always identify the official and only website " https://6000.gov.tw".
