The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and has received full payments in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

The Department is aware of an issue with this case that resulted in the 2017 advance payment not being made. A solution has been identified and is scheduled for implementation this week.  It is expected that the payment will issue shortly.  GLAS 2017 advance payments began in November 2017 and are continuing to issue on a weekly basis.

The named person was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015. The applicant has received all payments in respect of scheme years 2015 and 2016

Administrative checks involving a number of sections within the Department take place on all GLAS claims.  All cases must clear these checks before payment can issue. Department officials are working proactively to complete the checks to minimise delays in payments. Once this case clears validations the 2017 advance payment will be made. GLAS payments commenced in November 2017 and are issuing on a weekly basis.
