More than 1,700 pensioners in Linden have already received their $100,000 one-off cash grant following several days of distribution across various communities.
The Regional Democratic Council of Region 10 began the distribution process on January 27, 2025, starting with Wismar, followed by McKenzie the next week.
The final day of distribution took place in Coomacka and Old England, ensuring that eligible pensioners in those areas received their grants.
The initiative targeted old-age pensioners, National Insurance Scheme (NIS) pensioners, and persons with disabilities.
Officials have described the process as smooth and efficient, with many recipients expressing appreciation for the financial support.
For those who were unable to collect their grants at designated locations, distribution will continue at the Regional Democratic Council office.
Pensioners have already begun utilizing the funds for personal needs, including healthcare and general well-being.
Meanwhile, the Department of Public Information recently announced that updated distribution schedules for Regions Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Ten will be released within a week, ensuring all eligible recipients can access their grants.
