Welfare payment arrangements for New Year holidays
Recipients of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance under the bank payment system may receive their payments on Saturday (December 31) if their pay- days fall on the New Year public holidays (January 1 and 2).
A spokesman for the Social Welfare Department said today (Thursday) that special payment arrangements would also be made for recipients of Social Security Allowance whose pay-days fell on the two days.
Those who have bank accounts in Hong Kong Bank or Hang Seng Bank will receive their payments on Saturday (December 31) whereas those with accounts in other banks will receive their payments next Tuesday (January 3).
In case of doubt, they are advised to contact their respective social security field units.
