The Ministry of Labour and Social Security says a technical issue has delayed National Insurance Scheme (NIS) pension payments to some pensioners who receive their benefits by direct deposit.
In giving an update on Wednesday, the ministry said the issue is limited to the direct-deposit payment process and does not affect pensioners who receive their payments through other methods. Those beneficiaries would have received their pensions as scheduled.
Minister of Labour and Social Security Pearnel Charles Jr. said the matter is being treated as a priority because of the importance of timely pension payments to beneficiaries.
