The national tree, the Lignum Vitae, is planted at the National Insurance Board’s (NIB) Headquarters on Baillou Hill Road as one of the many initiatives in the Countdown to 50 calendar of events showcasing Bahamian culture, arts, music, cuisine, and history.

Participating in the planting ceremony, which took place on Friday April 28, 2023 to coincide with International Arbour Day, was Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister The Honourable Myles LaRoda, Chairman of NIB Philip McKenzie and NIB’s Director Sonia Gill.

The tree planting ceremony, organized by the National Independence Secretariat Committee, symbolizes NIB’s place as key pillar in the growth and enrichment of the nation’s citizens and NIB’s historical significance in the country. In 2024, NIB will celebrate its 50th year in Social Security Administration and its role of providing much needed Benefits and Assistances to insured Bahamians in time of need.

Extended hours of operation this weekend at NIBs Jumbey Village Local Office
The National Insurance Board remains committed to continuous improvement of service delivery, and to meeting – indeed, exceeding – customers' expectations. In this regard, the public is advised that on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, NIB will extend its hours of operations at its Jumbey Village Local Office, located in the Clifford Darling Complex on Blue Hill Road. Persons who recently claimed and qualified for Unemployment Benefit, including those recently laid off from Bahamar, are encouraged to take advantage of these extended hours to collect their Unemployment Benefit payments. The extended hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. this evening, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow.
IMPACT OF MINIMUM WAGE ON NATIONAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS
The Government of The Bahamas has announced that there will be an increase in the Minimum Wage effective August 15, 2015. In this regard, the National Insurance Board advises employers that for all workers impacted by the change in the minimum wage, there will be a corresponding increase in contribution payments for the month of August and thereafter.
