The Social Security and National Insurance Trust has clarified who can be named a pension beneficiary. Employees of SSNIT cannot list partners outside of family as beneficiaries.
Mr Frank Molbila, the General Manager in-charge of Benefits, stated that only blood relations are permitted.
This policy applies to all members of the SSNIT scheme.
The trust aims to ensure pension funds are distributed according to established guidelines.
Beneficiaries must be legally recognized blood relations of the scheme member.
The trust manages retirement savings for many Ghanaians.
This rule prevents disputes over pension fund allocation.
