The Fiji National Provident Fund has made an early relief payment for its members eligible for Phase 2 Round 5 which were to be paid next week Tuesday.
Acting CEO Viliame Vodonaivalu says a total of $9.25 million is being paid to 37,077 members with 32,466 receiving a government top up of $7.7 million.
Vodonaivalu says they fully understand the challenges that many of their members are facing and hopes that this early payment will ease some pressure.
He says these members will be able to access their funds from tomorrow morning depending on the banks crediting process.
Vodonaivalu adds as part of their contingency plans, they have been clearing pending COVID-19 applications this week and are processing payment for applications that have been approved.
He says this is specifically for members applying for the Lockdown relief, Voluntary Members relief and Phase 4 Round 2.
