The Cabinet Office wishes to advise that a notice circulating on social media related to the lump sum payment of $1,400 due to public servants in the December 2019 pay period is false.

The notice should be disregarded. It is untrue.

Lump sum payments will be paid as scheduled in December to all public servants, PHA staff, doctors, nurses, teachers, members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and Bahamas Customs, Immigration and Correctional Officers.
