Mbabane – “If a member is hired today and drops dead tomorrow, your spouse will get paid by the Public Service Pension Fund (PSPF),” the Marketing Manager Makhosazane Dlamini said.
Speaking during an interview with Independent News at the PSPF offices, said: “We are now at the stage where anyone who gets employed by the government is instantly enrolled. The deceased gets paid for a period of 24 months.”
Dlamini said their rules enable them to pay immediately and that the benefits that get to go to the spouse, for members who were married or to their immediate family, are hustle free.
She however pointed out that to qualify to get their pension benefits at PSPF, one must have contributed for a period of 10 years.
“If you have worked for more than 10 years, and you happen to retire before the age of 60, we calculate what you have contributed in the period of your employment and pay you.”
