Beneficiaries face delays accessing emergency funds, forced to visit physical branches despite pandemic risks. Digital divide affects those without internet access. Uncertainty about payment timing and eligibility creates anxiety among vulnerable populations dependent on immediate assistance.
Government must urgently address digital infrastructure gaps and app reliability for welfare distribution. May require temporary in-branch payment windows, enhanced staffing protocols, and expedited IT fixes. Highlights need for robust contingency planning in social programs and potential regulatory review of Caixa's digital service standards.
