The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security yesterday said that old age pension payments for October 2020 will begin on Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at all post offices countrywide.
In a statement, the ministry said that as customary, the alphabetical system, using surnames/last names, will be employed for senior citizens to receive their payments during the first five payment days of the month at Post Offices in Region 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.
Senior citizens will be paid as follows:
Surnames/last names beginning with the letters A to D on Tuesday, September 29, 2020
Surnames/last names beginning with the letters E to K on Wednesday, September 30, 2020
Surnames/last names beginning with the letters L to P on Thursday, October 1, 2020
Surnames/last names beginning with the letters Q to T on Friday, October 2, 2020
Surnames/last names beginning with the letters U to Z on Monday, October 5, 2020
The alphabetical system will only be used during the first five payment days. Senior citizens will be allowed to cash their coupons on any day after the fifth payment day.
In keeping with the guidelines provided by the Pan American Health Organization, post offices continue to enforce physical distancing between individuals accessing their services. This measure limits the number of individuals who can enter any post office at any given time. Persons visiting the offices are asked to wear protective masks and sanitize their hands before entry.
