PenCom Begins 2021 Retirees Online Verification, Enrollment Sept 1

Aa from September 1, the National Pension Commission (PenCom) will commence online verification and enrollment of 2021 retirees and prospective retirees of Federal Government Treasury-Funded Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Head, Corporate Communications of PenCom, Peter Aghahowa in a disclosure Monday said the commission had developed an online application automating the annual pre-retirement verification and enrollment for all its retirees in an exercise that ends October 29.

Those eligible for the exercise are employees of federal government treasury-funded MDAs who retired between January and August.

Also included are employees of the federal government treasury-funded MDAs who were due to retire from September and those who missed the enrolment exercise in previous years.

Aghahowa listed the two options for the enrollment exercise to include: self-assisted through pension desk officers or Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs)-assisted.

He also said that the affected retirees must complete their verification and enrollment with their respective PFAs on or before Oct. 29.
