FAMILY BENEFITS
< MINISTER APPEALS FOR PROMPT COLLECTION (P.A.) WELLINGTON, September 17. ‘"The failure of parents and guardians to uplift within the current month instalments of universal larnily benefits is resulting in avoidable additional work for the Social Security Department,” said the Minister of Social Security (the Hon. W. E. Parry) today. The Minister said payment for the whole of each month was available from the eleventh of that month to the eleventh of the following month Instalments not collected within that period .automatically lapsed, and when beneficiaries subsequently applied for a reissue of the instalments—as they all did eventually—extra work fell upon the already overworked social security officers. To date, there had been 8000 such lapsed instalments, said the Minister, appealing to beneficiaries to collect instalments promptly.
