Contributors of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) have been urged to regularly update their beneficiary records to avoid disputes and undue stress for their families when members pass away.The Trust noted that outdated records remain one of the leading causes of delays in processing survivor benefits, often leaving widows, children and dependents in prolonged hardship.The call was made yesterday at the New Times Corporation (NTC) in Accra during an educational engagement with staff of the corporation.
The session formed part of SSNIT's ongoing public sensitisation on pensions and benefits.Addressing participants, Client Service Officer at SSNIT's Accra Industrial Area (AIA), Maron Esinam Ahiataku, stressed that the Trust does not alter a contributor's details once provided.She, therefore, urged members to be certain of the information they submit and to review their records at least once every five years."All our members need to visit any SSNIT office and report again.
Bring evidence.
But note that the moment you bring the documentation, it is not automatic.
