(SENIOR CITIZEN’S) FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (FAP) – Second Batch Payments Ready for Collection

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands – Monday, 18 November 2024: The Financial Assistance Programme 2024 will make its SECOND batch of payments, today, Monday, 18 November 2024.

Cheques are ready for collection at the Government Treasuries and Subtreasuries. For persons who applied for the FAP and have met the FAP eligibility criteria, your application, if approved for payment, will have a cheque that is ready for collection.

Pensioners are advised that the only method of payment for this round of payments is by cheque owing to a delay in confirming the schedules for payments to be made through deposits in the bank accounts submitted.  So, to progress payments as soon as possible, a decision was made to distribute the first set of batches by cheque only.

Subsequent monthly pension top-ups will be paid according to the preferred method of payment indicated in your applications.

There is a batch of remaining payments of approved FAP applications from the open portal that would have required additional information. Payment for the third batch will be made by Monday, 25 November 2024.

The list of pensioners with cheques ready for collection in the second batch is given below.

Pensioners must present a Government-issued photo identification to collect payments.

If you are a pensioner who is unable to collect the FAP cheque in person, the authorised person collecting the cheque must present a letter duly signed by the pensioner and notarised, giving him/her the authority to do so on the pensioner’s behalf.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT THE SENIOR CITIZENS FAP PORTAL REOPENS TODAY, 18 NOVEMBER 2024 FOR NEW APPLICATIONS.
