Treasury Minister Alex Allinson says discussions are still taking place to help those without bank accounts when benefits and pension payments go electronic next year.
The current MiCard system will be scrapped from the end of December as the government tries to save half a million pounds a year.
In Tynwald this week, Dr Allinson was quizzed by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper about how those without bank accounts will be paid in future.
The minister said with six weeks to go, no definite plans were in place yet:
Santas on Bike has raised over £22k weeks before event
Air Ambulance patients need photo ID
Kids can design the police's Christmas card
Two ferries cancelled due to weather
Tynwald fails to pass Area Plan after combined vote
Minister says she's meeting with vets to help farmers
Manx Care negligence payouts detailed
Ballakilley Park plans scaled down
