NHT working with employers to process refund applications

The National Housing Trust (NHT) is reporting that it is aware that some contributors may have been experiencing delays in obtaining their 2011 contribution refunds. 

The NHT says it is working with employers to have the issues resolved, adding that the agency is committed to using every available channel to resolve these issues in the shortest possible time.  

Specifically, some of these issues include:

· Incomplete/incorrect employee information submitted on the annual returns

· Late filing of annual returns and

· Non-responsiveness to repeated follow-up and notices from the NHT

Affected contributors are being asked to notify the NHT and their employers of any challenges being experienced in applying for their refunds.

Since January 1, 2019, the NHT says it has paid out over 63,000 applications for refund valuing in excess of $2 billion.

The NHT is currently refunding contributions made in 2011 and earlier.

Contributors are being reminded to apply for their refund online via the NHT’s new and improved platform, NHT Online, available on its website www.nht.gov.jm or via our mobile app.

The app may be downloaded via the App Store or the Google Play Store.
