FAMILY BENEFITS
MANY INSTALMENTS NOT COLLECTED APPEAL TO~PAKENTS (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 17. “The failure of parents and guardians to uplift within the current month the instalments of the universal family benefit is resulting in avoidable additional work for the Social Security Department,” said the Minister in charge, Mr. Parry, to-day. The Minister said that 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 the beneficiaries subsequently applied for a re-issue of their 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 their instalments promptly.
