PBB is an incentive given to government employees in accordance to their performance and contribution to the accomplishment of their agency's overall targets and commitments. The A025 Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) sets specific conditions and reviews the agency's compliance and accomplishments within a fiscal year to determine the eligibility of the agency and its personnel to receive PBB.

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has informed the Department of Education that it is ELIGIBLE for a Performance-Based Bonus grant (PBB).
