RNZ Pacific understands the Employment Stabilisation Payment to workers and the SME Stimulus Payment for July and August are yet to be paid.
Many businesses were reportedly preparing to lay off more workers in the wake of the downturn caused by Covid-19.
The Leader of the Opposition, Ralph Regenvanu, said the delays in the payments were defeating their purpose.
He said the delay could not be attributed to the case of the government not having the money.
