the Working Family Allowance Office had processed about 3.4 million
applications for the bonanza by Sept 30. This made up 98% of 3.47 million applications
received.
Among the 3 million approved applications, payments in the
sum of $10.6 billion have been approved for 2.99 million applications, or 99%, a

He said payments for around 20,000 remaining applications that
were approved recently will be paid within the week via bank transfer, or via
check by post for applicants who do not possess bank accounts.
About 350,000 applications, or 10%, were rejected, and
around 46,000 or 1.4%, were duplicate or applications withdrawn by applicants
The WFAO has indicated that more than 60,000 applications, or 1.8%, are yet to be processed, including more than 50,000 in which the applicants have not provided sufficient information for further checking, such as copies of their Hong Kong ID cards.

About 12,000 application forms that have been duly received, acknowledged and their initial data input into the system, may have been packed away with processed forms and have not yet been located, thus their processing is pending.

If any application forms cannot be located, the WFAO will
follow up with the affected applicants separately and will notify the Office of
the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, the spokesman said.
