Eligible people who missed the October post-office collection period have two further periods in 2026.
Next collection dates
The agency's 9 October announcement says uncollected payments can be received at post offices on 16–26 November and 15–23 December 2026. The October collection period ended on 26 October.
Who the programme covers
The specified groups include supported low-income individuals and families, heating-assistance recipients, families raising children with permanent disabilities and other defined categories. A person qualifying under several categories receives only one payment.
Payments assigned automatically
The agency reports that payments were assigned to 439,996 people and funds transferred on 1 October. This concerns payment under a specific programme, rather than a new application round. Confirm individual eligibility and collection arrangements with the relevant Social Assistance Directorate.
