5/27/2020 9:13:07 AM
Over the next three days, the National Insurance Board (NIB) will provide customer service from the Thomas A. Robinson stadium on Mychal Thompson Blvd. (adjacent to Customs House) to its claimants in New Providence who are on the published list found on the NIB website and Facebook page. Claimants may visit the stadium on their designated day from Tuesday, May 26, 2020 to Thursday, May 28, 2020 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Expanding service from the T.A. Robinson Stadium allows for proper social distancing and more windows for agents to provide service to thousands of customers. Persons are asked to adhere to the last name protocol on the published list, and are asked to present an official government identification (the NIB smart card or a passport or driver’s license) to the NIB agent at the time of service.

All other business will continue from NIB Headquarters on Baillou Hill Road.

NIB wishes to thank its customers for their patience during these challenging circumstances and the many staff members who worked through many weekends to settle claims.

NIB reminds the public to monitor our website and FB pages for updates and additional information.
