Following calls by a number of persons in the Territory, including medical practitioner and businessman, Dr Heskith A. Vanterpool, for the Social Security Board (SSB) to step up in this COVID-19 crisis and make a payout to persons made unemployed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Director of SSB Ms Antonette Skelton has made known that the hands of the SSB are tied due to no legislation being in place for it to give unemployment benefits.
