The National Service Scheme (NSS) Management has confirmed the release of funds by the government for the settlement of arrears on the allowances of recently completed NSS personnel.

The payments are intended to cover arrears from January 2023 to May 2023. The announcement was made through a press release signed by Osei Assibey Antwi, the Executive Director of the NSS.

“The arrears would therefore be paid by the close of Friday, December 8, 2023,” the statement noted.

The payments will cover arrears accrued from January 2023 to May 2023. However, arrears for June 2023 and allowances for October 2023 will be paid subsequently.

“Management wishes to commend service personnel for their patience regarding the delayed payment of these allowances and wishes to assure them that everything possible is being done to have the rest of their allowances duly paid to them,” NSS stated.
