Completion and submission of Declaration Forms for Pensioners is very important in providing the Fund with annual proof of our Pensioners’ existence. This is the reason the Fund insists on having the Declaration Form signed in front of a Commissioner of Oaths (who have certain obligations to ensure that what is before him/her is true and correct).Declaration Forms are mailed once a year during the month of a Pensioner’s Birthday. These forms must be returned to the Fund no later than a month after the Pensioner’s birthday. Failure to do so will result in the suspension of pension payments. The completion of forms may also be done at the Fund offices with the assistance of the Client Services Administrators.NB: PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:       

• Declaration Forms must be completed with updated personal details, particularly all cellphone numbers for sms communication, postal/physical address and email addresses.
• Declarations Forms must be signed and stamped by a Commissioner of Oaths.
• A recently certified copy of the Pensioners Identity Document must be attached.

If your pension has been suspended, please ensure that you submit your completed Declaration Form to the Fund by the 10th day of the following month. Your pension will then be reinstated at the end of that month.
