Meanwhile people can’t get their money smh..
WHY LORD WHY!!?? There are so many people crying daily that they are qualified and can’t get their pensions for years. Added to that is that the pensions are many times very late. How about fixing these things before “playing” with the money again?
Understandable since a issue for the scheme was its lack of investments. The dividends will also help the scheme deal with inflationary pressures. Last report from the scheme is that all payments are up to date (May 2025 Pension Payment were paid May 26th). Minimum pensions were increased to 500, in April 2025 (effective april 2nd) see https://antiguanewsroom.com/minimum-ec500-social-security-pension-now-in-effect-in-antigua-and-barbuda/
At least you all took my advice and have someone younger presenting the Cabinet notes now it’s watchable and not really boring. BRAVO!
And the people have no say? Social security SCHEME indeed
INVESTMENTS MADE IN ANTIGUA, A BLATANTLY STOLEN BY FAMILY MEMBERS (STOVES, TOILETS, TELEVISIONS, LANDSCAPING TOOLS ETC.) AND THE MATTER IS COMPOUNDED BY THE POLICE LACK OF INTEREST WHEN REPORTED.
THE LONG TERM OUTCOME WILL AFFECT ANTIGUA’S FOREIGN CURRENCY AND DIASSOCIATION FROM FAMILY MEMBERS
MORE TO COME…
IT WILL AFFECT ANTIGUA DIRECT FOREIGN CURRENCY
AND ALSO, A PLACE TO STAY FOR THOSE AUDACIOUS, UNGRATEFUL CULPRITS.
Since, the scheme is running so efficient and “up yo date,” according to the poliTRICKtans and their spin doctors, I would like to apply online, submit any and all documents required and do a phone
Is this possible or do I have to…
A…put my boots on the ground?
B…do the #paoer_pushers shuffle?
C…check de Minister?
D…wait up to 18 months to be called in to an office, for an in person interview with a H_ANGRY Supervisor with a blowfish H_ATTITUDE?
As an Antiguan I’m eligible for my retirement but residing in another Nation, and it’s useless to contact my embassy in Washington, DC, pure unadulterated babble coming over the phone and the email is automatically routed to the Spam Folder.
I don’t know about the Consulate in New York. I think, I’ll try their information help or hotline and get their response.
Collecting your retirement should not be in the same trend, as going to the dentist for a molar extraction or root canal. It should be a seamless process. I want my money to do my own investments, as in putting it in a FUND for my grandchildren.
By the way, what happened to the other MAJOR INVESTORS named over the past ELEVEN YEARS who’ll be upgrading this flagship resort? Or it’s just more political grandstanding?
Jumbee_Picknee aka Ras Smood
De’ole Dutty Peg🦶🏾Garrat_Bastard
Vere Edwards
That is just plain crazy. People not getting their pensions and you taking the people’s money to prop up a hotel. No!
When it’s nice, why not do it twice?
Same result: I DID NOT SAY I WOULD USE SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY!
By the way, doesn’t Gaston Browne own Jolly Beach Resort?
Heaven help those who are dependent on their Social Security remittances monthly. Investing Social Security money into that dung hole, Jolly Beach. I do hope you all do not live to regret doing it. What the Board Members have to say about it? Are they a bunch of spineless,gutless, ballsless, yes massa people.Remember, the former Base at Coolidge is owned Social Security. What are the financial benefits that Social Security derived from that?
