Benefits, Coronavirus

When do job centre payments go into a Rainbow Savers account?

If this is the first time you have had a payment paid into this account you could contact the Credit Union and ask them, under normal circumstances, when payments tend to be paid but there might be delays given the current coronavirus situation.

You could phone the benefits agency that are paying you the benefit to ask them when your benefits will reach your account, i.e. if it is Universal Credit then call the UC Helpline on  0800 328 5644 or if it tax credits call 0345 300 3900.

Also your Jobcentre work coach should be able to give you an idea of when to expect your payment.

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
