Labour Ministry Apologizes for Delay in Payment of NIS Pension Arrears

   

The Ministry of Labour and Social Security is aware that some National Insurance Scheme (NIS) Pensioners did not see their pension arrears for the months of April and May reflected in their Bank Accounts on June 30, 2023.

The delay, which is due to a technical issue, has affected some pensioners who receive their NIS pension benefits via direct deposits into their bank accounts.

The Ministry apologizes for any inconvenience caused, and assures its Pensioners that we are working assiduously with our financial partners to have the issues urgently resolved.

Every effort is being made to have the payments delivered by Tuesday, July 4, 2023.
