Ninety-two people have repaid Denmark’s so-called food cheque, which was automatically paid to more than two million people earlier this year.
Employment Minister Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen provided the figure in a response to parliament, according to DR. The payments were made in May and June to families with children and other people facing financial pressure.
The tax-free payment ranged from 1,000 to 5,000 kroner. Recipients received it automatically unless they opted out. Udbetaling Danmark previously said that 11 people declined the payment.
