My question was mis-classified. I am asking about medicare and COBRA payments - not COBRA computers. It should be classified under Government. Can you take care of changing this?

Since you did not state the country in which you reside (I'm in the USA and we don't use the phrase "aged pension"), I am guessing you are an Australian citizen, as I have found the term "age pension" on web pages for the Australian Government Department of Human Services.
I did find a brief reference to payments every fortnight (every 2 weeks.) However, to be sure, I recommend you contact the Austrialian Government Department of Human Services and ask your question. This is the link to the department's "Contact Us" connections: https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/contact-us . Scroll down that page to the column headed "Get in touch" and choose how you wish to contact the department ask what you need to know.
There are a lot of reasons to contact medicare, and you don't specify. Here are some suggestions. https://www.medicare.gov/
The official medicare site. They are not commercially sponsored, and the info is pretty easy to find and very accurate. Another source would be to contact the billing department at your local hospital and ask to speak to the person who handles medicate. Be nice. These people probably know more about the actual workings of medicare than the government does. If you treat them like the expert they are, they can be a valuable resource. If your questions/complaints are about the system and its politics and you can't find what you need on the medicare website, call your US congressman or Senator. They, or their aids LOVE to hear from their constituents on issues of government services.
It's true that Social Security retirement payments are classified as "federal benefit payments." The word "benefits" has been applied to Social Security retirement payments since the Social Security program was enacted in the 1930s. The terminology is also not unique to Social Security, as the phrase "federal benefit payments" applies to a broad class of payments made to (or on behalf of) individuals under federal government programs - everything from Social Security Disability Insurance to Medicare to farm subsidies are considered "federal benefit payments." The fact that workers themselves contribute much of the money that goes into the Social Security retirement fund doesn't affect its classification as a benefit. They benefit the person who cashes the check.
