Payment

How and when you will be paid

$100 per month on the 20th of each calendar month, beginning 20 April 2026, by the same method already on file with NISSS. Where the 20th falls on a weekend or a public holiday, payment will be made on the last business day prior to the 20th.

Direct bank deposit

If NISSS holds your bank account details, your $100 COLCC payment will be uploaded for delivery to your account by the 20th of each month — separately from any pension or welfare payment.

Cheque by post

If you receive your existing pension or benefit by cheque, your COLCC cheque will be printed and dispatched to the General Post Office (GPO) by the 17th each month for delivery by the 20th.

Annual COLCC statement

NISSS will not issue an annual COLCC statement as the COLCC is not subject to income taxation.

Monthly payment date

20th of each month

Your COLCC payment will be credited to your bank account or delivered by cheque on the 20th of each calendar month, beginning 20 April 2026. Where the 20th falls on a weekend or public holiday, payment is made on the last business day prior.
