Social Welfare Payments will change to a single payment for two weeks

  • This is to encourage Social Distancing.
  • Some customers will receive a single payment for two weeks from 23 March
  • Some customers will receive a single payment for two weeks from 30 March
  • This will reduce the amount of time people attend post offices and banks.
  • All payments will be paid in a single payment every two weeks: payments into bank accounts, post offices and by cheque.
  • This is not a bonus payment.
