The Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) is reminding pensioners, children, and spousal beneficiaries to verify their proof of life.
This is as the biometric verification process ends 28 February.
The verification is crucial for the timely payment of benefits.
“As such, pensioners and beneficiaries are encouraged to visit the nearest GIPF office countrywide or make use of the new GIPF mobile verification app without delay.
Verification – proof of life – on the biometric system is key to ensuring that the fund pays benefits to the rightful beneficiaries and on time. GIPF will suspend the monthly benefit payments to members who are not verified by 28 February 2025,” a statement reads.
Verifications will take place at GIPF offices during three periods a year, 1 March to 30 June, 1 July to 31 October and 1 November to 28 February.
Beneficiaries can also make use of the mobile verification app to confirm proof of life.
