PTAD Introduces New Aliveness Verification Procedure For Diaspora Pensioners
The Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) has introduced a new procedure for diaspora pensioners to verify their aliveness and continue receiving their monthly pension payments.
This move comes after the completion of the nationwide pensioners verification exercise, which resulted in the suspension of unverified pensioners from the pension payroll.
To be reinstated, diaspora pensioners must submit certain documents, including their Letter of First Appointment, Letter of Last Promotion, Letter of Acceptance of Retirement, bank statement showing last pension received, BVN slip with photograph, valid means of Identification, and an “I Am Alive” certification from the Nigerian High Commission or a Notarized letter confirming aliveness.
Additionally, diaspora pensioners are required to submit an updated Aliveness Certificate every six months to continue receiving their monthly pension. Failure to do so will result in suspension from the pension payroll.
This new procedure aims to ensure that diaspora pensioners can continue to receive their rightful payments while also maintaining the integrity of the pension system.
