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.
