Over 9483 pensioners receive their payment

More than 9483 pensioners have received their payment under the new age based FNPF pension scheme.

FNPF CEO Aisake Taito said that the payout has been completed and only the queried cases are being worked on at the moment.

Taito said all pensioners folders have been thoroughly tested, to ensure that appropriate clearances have been attained, prior to releasing payment.

He said the queried cases need full and accurate details of what is required in the Pension Option Forms.

In most of these queried applications, there is a lack of mandatory information such as valid bank account, birth, death and marriage certificates.

Taito added that in order to minimize these cases, FNPF is liaising with the pensioners and re-verifying their details.
