Government Employees Pension Fund GEPF members receive retirement benefits when they:

  • Go on normal retirement at the age of 60;
  • Take early retirement with the permission of their employer; or
  • Choose to retire, with penalties.

  • A correct and completed Withdrawal from Fund Application form (Z102);
  • A correct and completed Banking Details form (Z894);
  • The Z583 form if the member has more than 10 years’ service and is a member of a medical aid scheme;
  • A certified copy (not older than six months) of the member’s green bar-coded identity document or passport; and
  • A correct and completed Retirement Choice form.
