Customer Focused, Secure and Cost Effective
MiCard uses state of the art, secure technology to ensure you get exactly what you are entitled to, when you are entitled to it:
Access your benefits from the day they are due, at a time that suits you.
Collect your payments, in cash, on a weekly basis, an alternative to monthly electronic transfers.
MiCard can only be used by the customer who is entitled to collect the benefit, making sure your payments are protected. If a nominated or proxy person collects your payments, they must have their own MiCard. Please contact Social Security on 686415 to arrange this for you.
There will be no cash value stored on the card.
How MiCard works
What happens next if you collect your pension or benefit from the Post Office?
Please note:
Customers will be asked to provide photographic proof of identity, unless they opt to have their photo printed on the card.
In some cases, Social Security customers have their benefits collected by a nominated person (e.g., a family member or friend) if they are unable to collect themselves. This person is known as a "proxy". Of course, any customers who would like to use Proxy collectors are welcome to do so, however, they will need to have their own card to collect. Please contact Social Security on 686415 if you would like this arrangement setup for you.
