The Guyana Post Office Corporation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Protection, continues to implement systems that seek to protect our senior citizens and contain the spread of COVID-19 by preventing mass gathering and practicing social distancing,

In this regard, the payment of Old Age Pension for July 2020 will begin on Monday, June 29, 2020, at all Post Offices countrywide.

An alphabetical system, using surnames/last names, will be employed for senior citizens to receive their payment at the Post Offices during the first five payment days of the month at Post Offices in Region 2,3,4,5,6 and 10.

Senior citizens will be paid as follows:

• Surnames/last names beginning with the letters A to D on Monday, June 29, 2020 
• Surnames/last names beginning with the letters E to K on Tuesday, June 30, 2020
• Surnames/last names beginning with the letters L to P on Wednesday, July 1, 2020 the third payment day of the month
• Surnames/last names beginning with the letters Q to T on Thursday, July 2, 2020
• Surnames/last names beginning with the letters U to Z on Friday, July 3, 2020

The alphabetical system will only be used during the first five payment days.

Senior citizens will be allowed to cash his/her coupon/s on any day after the fifth payment day.

In keeping with the guidelines provided by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the GPOC continues to enforce physical distancing between individuals accessing our services. This measure limits the number of individuals who can enter the Post Office at any given time. Persons visiting our offices are asked to wear protective masks and sanitize their hands before entry. Our public areas are also sanitized intermittently throughout the day.

We look forward to your cooperation as we seek to STAY SAFE FROM COVID-19.
