FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YEA PAYS BENEFICIARY ALLOWANCES; ARREARS LARGELY CLEARED
The Youth Employment Agency (YEA) is pleased to announce that the payment of allowances to its beneficiaries has been successfully processed. Most beneficiaries have received full payment of all outstanding arrears.
A number of beneficiaries currently have only the month of March pending, others February which is being processed for payment. This variation is due to differences in deployment and engagement timelines across the various modules. As such, depending on one’s specific deployment and engagement period, beneficiaries are either fully paid or awaiting only the March allowance.
Validated beneficiaries who have not yet received payment alerts are kindly advised to exercise patience, as this may be due to technical delays associated with the banking payment platform. All payments will be completed in due course.
The Agency further wishes to inform that deployment and engagement under the Arabic Module are currently ongoing. Validation exercises for beneficiaries under this module will be conducted within the month to facilitate the commencement of their allowance payments.
The Chief Executive Officer and Management of the Youth Employment Agency reaffirm their commitment to ensuring the timely and consistent payment of beneficiary allowances. Significant efforts continue to be made to streamline processes and eliminate delays.
YEA expresses its sincere appreciation to all beneficiaries for their patience, understanding, and continued dedication.
Signed.
