Who receives PERA?
PERA (Personnel Economic Relief Allowance) is ₱2,000 per month under DBM Budget Circular No. 2009-3. It is generally paid to regular plantilla national government personnel, including permanent DepEd teachers, when funded in the national budget and when attendance rules are met. Job Order, contractual, and part-time teachers typically do not receive PERA. If your payslip does not show PERA, confirm your appointment status with your division HR.
