HOLIDAY ARRANGEMENTS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS
People receiving social security payments from the Social Welfare Department whose pay days fall within the Lunar New Year holidays are
to get their money a few days ahead of time.
"We have arranged this special concession with the Post Office
and the New Torritories District Officers so that our clients will have
some cash available for the New Year," said Mr. David Chow Che-wah,
Deputy Secretary in charge of the department's payments operation.
People receiving public assistance and/or disability and infirmity
allowances collect their money on the same day each month from the
post office or New Territories District Office nearest their home.
He said those who are due to collect their money on January
will be able to do so 23,24 and 25 the Lunar New Year holidays
instead on January 19, 21 and 22.
