The Ministry of Social Welfare, Women and Poverty Alleviation is advising all its social welfare recipients that their allowances should be paid into their bank accounts by January 5, 2013.
Permanent secretary Govind Sami is reminding all social welfare recipients to collect their food vouchers.
“The food vouchers for the months of January to March is being distributed to all the district and divisional social welfare offices. All recipients are advised to collect their food vouchers before the end of the month,” he said.
“Voucher books that are not collected by the end of the month will be returned to Suva and payment of allowances will be suspended from February.
“Failure to collect their food vouchers may result in suspension of allowances payments, as collection of food vouchers is a recertification,” Mr Sami said.
