Citizens!
Congress has voted to issue a grant accessible to you, the eUK public. I am putting my MoF hat on to manage the payments for them! Comment on this article to claim your cash. If you are feeling particularly needy then keep your eyes open for Ministry of Entertainment articles over the weekend where you will have the chance to win more and more and more cash!
Grant info
This is a 40k all-purpose grant. It is offered on the premise that some people may need financial assistance! If you are hard up in eRep then let me know and I shall point you to support programs and give you some resources, or make use of this offer which has been put together by Congress.
At the onset of the discussion Sir Humphrey suggested the grant be used for housing - general agreement was that it should be all purpose (we cannot know what you spend the money on after we have sent it after all!) but we do encourage you to check out the housing market and consider the benefits of buying a house. After all housing is a bit on the cheaper side at the moment, and houses help you do more!
The eRep wiki entry on Houses will provide you with all the enticement you need, but in short they boost your energy pool, make you recover faster, and allow you to accrue overtime points so you can work multiple times a day. If any of that sounds like it will be useful to you then buy a house! Once you own one, go to your storage and hover over it to activate it.
So in other words, a house is a smart move. They don't last forever though, so with the size of this grant you can even consider buying two.

This grant is offered on a first-come-first-served basis, however to ensure newer players have time to claim them, players who claim before next week (i.e over the weekend) who registered in the past 12 months will be paid first, and the remaining fund will then be paid out to other applicants based on the order they comment on this article.
The size of the grant specified by Congress is 40k and there they have approved an 800k fund. You don’t need a calculator to know that means 20 Grants, (pending any further funds coming forward over the next week). As such please consider if you need the grant or if you can take advantage of any other giveaway schemes before applying.
Happy claiming!

Thanks for your work here implementing this Wolders - sorry if mongress can get a bit confrontational trying to confirm things through 😛
Though I will say, remove the restriction on grants and just shift cc from reserves/mm given mongress have permission and didn’t qualify the amount
Happy to do that, but Congress specifically said 400k
I declined the gov piggybacking on my own proposal and the flat issue of a £40k grant was passed 😛
You literally told Congress that we reached an agreement privately.
Congress donated 400k to the Bank of England to be used for this grant. It’s in the country admin. Government matched it with 400k from the reserves.
Given that yesterday you were screaming that we can’t just spend the reserves without congress saying so, I’d have to take it back to congress to increase it any more
I think you’re taking a simple misunderstanding completely out of proportion here AMD

I have some reservations on distributing the grant during a powerball event. People will be enticed to throw it out in it with minimal return. I'd suggest to wait out the event before sending the cash for a healthier spending.
Also I abstain from receiving the grant as I don't need it rn.
No payouts til next week
Sad day for the gambling addicts xD

why are you sending me this money? do i have to pay it back or is it a gift?
I have rejected the money. It is sent back. I do not want a loan. Bank of England wants to transfer 40000 GBP to your account. Do you want to accept this donation? You have 3 days to make a decision. - Reject
its a grant xxxx
I do not understand what a ''grant'' is in this case. It was not made clear to me if i need to give it back slowly.
grant=a sum of money given by a government or other organization for a particular purpose. This is what it came up when i looked it up.
I do not want something given to me unless it is a gift or given to me with out me having to give something back.
I agree with the free Guns given to me and the Money given to me from prizes .
This money seemed a bit fishy and not clear enough.
Also i do accept the money given to me for air battles.
This 40.000 money had too many words and nothing explaining that it was free to accept without having to give it back.
You don't need to pay it back, there's a section in the article about it 🙂
"You don't need to pay it back, there's a section in the article about it '' It was lost in the too many words. I get bored when i come across articles with too many words and no BOLD letters saying the main things easy and simple. Its like reading the very small letters of and insurance company or the very small letters in other things we sign for. People can not be bothered to read all things.
preach!

AND THAT is why this article got only 11 COMMENTS (wanting the grant) instead of 312 active players in the eUK, OR THE 102 players in POLITICAL PARTIES in the eUk. or the 83 players that voted in the eUk congress elections.
Gotta get on the housing ladder somehow

I have held back in order to allow players that really need grant funding to get their bids in.
How is the payout progressing?
If there is any funding in the piggy bank then I would like to apply for a grant - which will be put towards the cost of a Q3 house.
Paid - would recommend PMing if applying late in the future, just to be sure.
