Thank You Belize Social Security Board

We take time out this week to congratulate the Management, Staff, and Directors of the Belize Social Security Board for taking affirmative action geared towards making life more dignified and pleasant for senior citizens across the nation. This is in relation to the collection of the monthly allowance for those benefiting from the non-contributory pension scheme. As announced earlier this week by way of television advertisements, the new process came into effect on Thursday, March 4, 2010 whereby those benefiting from the scheme can Call Us At: 824-2959 now go directly to specified commercial banks to collect their Now Offering 6” Cement Blocks For Only $1.00 each allowances. Also providing top quality Dressed & Rough This new process has effectively eliminated the need for senior Hardwood and Mahogany Lumber, Sand, Cement, citizens to make two stops as was the previous arrangement Steel, Plywood, Celotex, Roofing, Doors And A whereby beneficiaries were subjected to form a long line at Whole Lot More. Social Security offices across the country to first collect the Jose Marin, Efficient Service and Low cheque after which they would enter another long line at the Manager Prices Everyday! bank to redeem it. While the long line, this Thursday morning, was flowing outside the Atlantic Bank on Burns Avenue in San Ignacio Town, the inconvenience was certainly reduced for these senior citizens as it was the only line they would have had to stand in. It was similarly refreshing to have heard an Atlantic Bank employee, along the line outside the bank, advising several of those persons accompanying their relatives to the bank this Thursday morning that an authorization is all that is needed for relatives to redeem cheques on behalf of senior citizens thereby eventually eliminating the need for the elderly to make that monthly pilgrimage to the bank. Several months ago we advocated for this specific change in the way these disbursements were handled. It is therefore only fitting for us to thank the authorities at the Belize Social Security Board for embracing the suggestion and transforming it into reality. The Social Security Board has effectively listened and done its part. In appreciation thereof, the benefiting community must do its part to ensure that the process is not undermined by any means “The Newspaper that cares and dares to bring out the truth” whatsoever including by way 42A Western Highway, of fraud.
