All pension arrears have been disbursed to the bank accounts of pensioners under the National Insurance Scheme, NIS.
That’s according to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.
In a statement on Monday, the Ministry says the disbursement is for pensioners who receive payments by direct deposit.
It says pensioners will receive a one-off arrears payment.
That payment is the difference between the increased pension rate and the old pension rate for the five-month period covering April to August.
The ministry added that all technical challenges have been resolved.
Pensioners will also see payments of the new increased NIS pension rates in September.
