Technical difficulties with the Yukon government’s information management system are being blamed for a delay in payments to low-income seniors. Financial assistance from the Yukon Senior Income Supplement (YSIS) is usually deposited on the 15th of every month but it didn’t happen last week. On Monday, deBoer said that a new system is now in place so seniors should receive payment anytime between Monday and next week. The long-time Whitehorse resident is one of the thousands of seniors who did not receive the YSIS payment last week. Hilton’s fixed income comes from YSIS, which is less than $200 monthly, Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan.
