As the Federal Government rolls out its National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention (NERSI) programme to cushion the rising cost of living, vulnerable households can now verify their selection status.

With economic pressures impacting families nationwide, the administration has structured direct mobile wallet disbursements to ensure transparency and security.

Citizens looking to check whether they qualify can utilize the official verification channels:

The Approved USSD Channels: Depending on your registered mobile number or financial service provider, you can check your status directly by dialing the dedicated shortcodes:

ALAT by Wema Bank: Dial *945*23# ​MoMo PSB: Dial *671*0# ​NairaGram: Dial *726*00# ​OPay: Dial *[span_7](start_span)955*20# or check the app homepage ​Moniepoint: Dial *557*327#

The Verification and Consent Process: If selected, users will receive prompts to provide consent, after which the ₦50,000 relief fund is disbursed directly into their mobile wallet or linked account without needing to pay any intermediary fees.

Handling 'Not Selected' Status: Officials have advised applicants whose status returns as not selected to remain patient for subsequent disbursement batches across the geopolitical zones, while staying vigilant against online scams asking for PINs, OTPs, or processing fees.

Whether checking your phone via quick shortcodes or waiting for official SMS notifications, staying informed through verified channels ensures you avoid fraudulent links while navigating the relief package!
