Likely False
The evidence contradicts this claim.
The government of Timor-Leste is giving $500 to every citizen.
The claim that the government of Timor-Leste is giving $500 to every citizen is false. The evidence shows that the government provided a one-off cash transfer to households with a monthly income of less than $500, not to every citizen. The transfer amount varied from $200 to $500 based on assessments. The social media post contains urgent tone and request to share, which are signals of potential misinformation.
