Announcement by NIS most welcome

Dear Editor,

The NIS responded to the request for an explanation on no increase for persons in receipt of an NIS pension above the minimum, by announcing a four percent increase (NIS hikes old age pension’ SN Feb 28).

This announcement is most welcome.

It is noted though the increase in effective March 1 and not retroactive to January 1.

Yours faithfully,

Shamshun Mohamed
