Not a word from NIS

Dear Editor,

I recently migrated to the USA. Before I left Guyana in January, I visited the NIS New Amsterdam Office and said that it was my desire to continue paying my NIS contributions on a voluntary basis. Over the past years of employment, I made the required 752 contributions to the scheme. The employee had me fill a form to continue paying voluntarily and said it has to be sent to Georgetown to be approved and I will hear back from NIS as to how I would be paying.

To date, I have not heard anything from the scheme and I would like to know what is going on. Months have passed and there have been no payments. Can somebody look into this matter?

Yours faithfully,

Leon Suseran
