The Ministry is aware that beneficiaries of Senior Citizens Pension, Disability and Public Assistance grants from the Social Welfare Division may experience a delay in receiving their cheques for the month of March 2020. This has become necessary as the Ministry is working closely with TTPost to ensure greater security in light of several reports of beneficiaries not receiving their cheques. The Ministry wishes to assure beneficiaries, however, that outstanding cheques will be available from March 2nd 2020. The Ministry wishes to advise that persons who are receiving their payments via their personal banks accounts, direct deposit, are not affected by this incident.
The Ministry apologizes for any inconvenience. Persons may call the Ministry's hotline, toll free at 800 - 1MSD for further information or enquiries.
