Thousand Pesos (P6,000) per annum is authorized for the payment of Uniform/
Clothing Allowance of each qualified government employee, subject to the
guidelines, rules and regulations issued by the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM).
Who can receive Uniform/Clothing Allowance 2023?
The Circular covers civilian government personnel occupying regular,
contractual, or casual positions; appointive or elective; rendering services
on full-time or part-time basis.
