More than 5.3 million Hong Kong permanenet residents have received the HK$10,000 cash payout as of today. Those eligible to file paper registrations in the last batch, that is people born in 1971 to 2002 may start registrations on Sunday, the government said. People who register using paper forms from July 19 to August 1 will receive payment or notifications of cheque collection simultaneously from August 17. Thus, there is no need to rush for registration on the first one or two days, or submit the forms in person, the government said. People in that age group who submit paper registration forms on or after August 2 will receive payment or notifications of cheque collection about two weeks after registration.
