The Department of Finance, in collaboration with the Division of Personnel, proudly announces the release of more than 8,000 retroactive checks to eligible recipients across the territory, beginning today.
This significant disbursement marks a continued commitment to honoring financial obligations to public servants and retirees. While retroactive payments are typically not processed during a standard payroll week, this special issuance aligns with the provisions of Act No. 8985, which required payments to be made by May 30, 2025.
“This is a meaningful step forward in ensuring that our employees and retirees receive what is rightfully owed to them. We are grateful for the patience of our community and proud to fulfill this responsibility, said officials from Department of Finance and Division of Personnel during the collaborative effort.
Both agencies asked for the public’s continued patience as checks will be submitted via direct deposit and by mail today. Survivor payments will continue to be processed as documents are verified and submitted. Visit www.dopusvi.org retro dashboard page for more information.
