Types Of Retirement Benefits At GEPF

The GEPF offers options for normal and early retirement, as well as retirement due to medical (ill health) reasons. Members whose jobs have been impacted by restructuring or reorganization are also eligible to receive retirement benefits. Below are some types of retirement plans offered by GEPF;

• Early Retirement:

In some cases, you can retire before turning 60. The benefits you receive will still depend on how long you have worked. If you have worked 10 years or more, you will get a lump sum and a monthly pension, just like normal retirement, but the amount will be slightly reduced (by 0.33% for each month) for retiring early.

• Normal Retirement:

For GEPF members, the standard retirement age is 60. The benefits you get depend on how long you’ve worked and contributed to the fund. If you have worked less than 10 years, you will receive a one-time cash payout based on the value of your contributions. However, If you have worked 10 years or more, you will get both a lump sum payout and a monthly pension.

• Ill Health and Other Retirements:

If you retire due to health issues, injury at work, or if your position is eliminated, you get enhanced benefits. If you have worked for more than 10 years, you will receive both a lump sum and a monthly pension, plus an extra yearly payment. Also, If you have worked less than 10 years, your benefits will be similar to what you would get if you resigned.
