00:00Welcome back. Recipients of social welfare checks are being advised of delays in the distribution of October payments.
00:08The Ministry of the People's Social Development and Family Services says,
00:12The delay is due to unforeseen technical difficulties affecting the check printing process.
00:17The Ministry assures that it is working with partners to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,
00:22and once fixed, distribution will begin without further delay.
00:25However, clients who are on direct deposit will not be affected and will receive their funds in their bank accounts as usual.
00:33The Ministry is also encouraging more recipients to sign up for direct deposits by visiting their banks for bank account details
00:41and submitting them to the nearest social welfare office.
