The NIS pays its pensioners every 4 weeks, not monthly. The payments are issued for thirteen 4-week periods each year for those paid by lodgement to banks and credit unions, or twenty-six 2 week periods for those receiving cheques through the mail. The NIS urges its pensioners who already have bank and credit union accounts to make the switch from cheques to lodgement and gain immediate access to ALL your monies. There is no penalty for switching.
