Dear Editor,
Reference is made to the letter dated April 26, 2021 captioned, “Unable to collect deceased aunt’s NIS benefits”. Please be advised the claimant does not need a will or a letter of administration to collect the outstanding sum of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($85,000). Only persons who have Undrawn Benefits in excess of Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) are required to submit the Probate of a Will or a letter of Administration. I wish to suggest that the claimant visits the Customer Service Manager at Brick-dam and Winterplace or call 227-6851 to have this matter resolved.
NIS regrets the inconvenience caused by the delayed payment.
