Effective January 1
there will be changes to the contributions refund system at the National
Housing Trust (NHT).
All applications for refunds must be made on the NHT's website as the agency will no longer accept paper applications.
Customer Service Representatives will be available at NHT offices to assist persons without Internet access.
Additionally, the NHT will no longer be making payments from its offices.
When applying, persons must indicate whether their refunds should be sent directly to a local bank account in their name, or to one of two remittance agencies contracted by the Trust.
The NHT said priority will be given to refunding contributions made in 2001.
Contributions made before that year will be refunded at a later date.
