The incentive will also be given to Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology personnel.
Uniformed personnel of the Bureau of Corrections, Philippine Coast Guard, and National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources are also qualified for the P20,000 SRI.
Civilian personnel occupying regular, contractual or casual positions; personnel who are still in government service as of Nov. 30 and personnel who rendered at least four months of satisfactory service are likewise qualified for the SRI.
