NIS Barbados – Why does it take so long sometimes to receive benefits?

There are numerous factors that can prevent a claim from being processed. They range from the non-completion of claims, the non-payment of contributions, to no signature. As a result delays occur and a claim is not paid promptly.

The NIS is implementing new processes in the form of computer hardware/software to speed up processing but its success is dependent on the co-operation of the employer and the employee.
