Further to announcing that the extended benefits will cover only sectors who have not been allowed to operate due to lockdown regulations, the actual conditions of the extension and specifics regarding who will be covered are still to be announced following consultations with social partners at the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac). While it is hoped that the extension of Ters benefits to whomever they will ultimately be extended will provide much-needed relief to those who find themselves covered, what of the many others who find themselves without further relief but similarly badly affected by the regulations? What of those who qualified for but have not received any Ters benefit payments to date due to existing backlogs and repeated system crashes; or those still awaiting outstanding payments after having been paid for some but not all of the months for which they initially qualified?
