The Antigua & Barbuda Social Security Board (ABSSB) has announced that, effective April 1, 2025, physical cheques will no longer be used for the payment of short-term benefits.

This initiative is part of ABSSB’s ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint, aligning with its commitment to fulfilling its motto, “growing to provide for you.”

Going forward, all payments will be made exclusively through Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT). Beneficiaries are urged to ensure that their banking details are accurately provided when completing benefit application forms to facilitate a smooth transition.

For further information, beneficiaries can contact the Corporate Relations Department at 268-736-3000.
