What’s Going On with the Portal?
The 8171 portal is temporarily under maintenance to allow for system improvements. The reason for the update is to add records of new eligible families, update payment amounts, and improve the method of verifying eligibility. The update team has asked users to be patient for a few more days, as the system has not yet been fully updated. During this transition period, features like checking payment status, eligibility, or next installment date might not work properly — but it’s all part of a planned improvement.
