The Antigua & Barbuda Social Security Board (ABSSB) wishes to apologise for the undue delay of pension payments for July 2021.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The ABSSB is heavily dependent on current contributions to fund current benefit payments and operations.<\/p>\n

Further, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact economic activity which has implications for ABSSB operations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The months of July to November are generally slow contribution months and we are now in that slow period.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The inconvenience created by delayed payments to our contributors and beneficiaries is not one that we take lightly.<\/p>\n

We do remain resolved in our commitment to meet all outstanding payments as funds become available.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Your continued forbearance is anticipated and will be greatly appreciated as we all continue to endure these unprecedented times.<\/p>\n
