Pensions and benefits granted by the VSAA which are to be received by customers at their places of residence on the 16^th of November will be delivered and paid on the 15^th of November; the 16^th of November will be the payday for those customers whose pensions and benefits are scheduled to be delivered to their places of residence on the 17^th and 18^th of November, while pensions and benefits scheduled for the 19^th and 20^th of November will be paid at places of residence on the 17^th of November.
