Georgetown: Senior citizens eligible to benefit from Old Age Pension in 2014 will be issued their books at locations across the country starting Monday, November 18, 2013.

All pensioners are reminded to take their 2013 Old Age Pension Booklet and the corresponding national identification card or passport. Pensioners cannot authorise anyone to collect their Old Age Pension Booklets. Officers will deliver booklets to those pensioners who are unable to visit the centres.

The Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security has made every effort to place distribution centers closest to pensioners.  A list of the distribution centres, dates and times will be published in the November 10, 2013 edition of the Guyana Times and the November 17, 2013 edition of the Stabroek News, Kaieteur News and Guyana Chronicle.

Persons are advised to kindly check the schedule carefully and present themselves at the distribution center that caters to persons in their catchment area. For queries or additional information, kindly contact the pension department on telephone number 223-6027 or your District Office
