The Social Security and National Insurance Trust has issued a clarification on who can be named a beneficiary for pension funds. Only blood relatives are eligible.
Mr. Frank Molbila, the General Manager in charge of Benefits at SSNIT, explained this rule. He stated that an employee or member of the SSNIT scheme cannot register a boyfriend or girlfriend as a beneficiary.
This ruling ensures that pension benefits are distributed according to established family structures. The trust aims to maintain clear guidelines for financial support after an individual's passing.
The decision highlights SSNIT's commitment to its members and their intended dependents. The focus remains on ensuring financial security for immediate family members.
Further details on the nomination process and eligible beneficiaries are available through SSNIT channels.
