How to nominate a beneficiary for your EPF deposit?
For your EPF savings, have you designated a beneficiary?
When a member passes away suddenly, the deposit might be claimed by the so-called deposit beneficiary. In the event of an accidental death of a member, the relatives will have numerous legal challenges if there is no designated beneficiary for the EPF deposit.
For EPF beneficiaries, the KWSP offers online nomination services; however, after nomination, you must visit a nearby KWSP counter to have your thumbprint stamped.
When processing a change in EPF beneficiaries, the KWSP needs members to provide fingerprints for verification. Therefore, the beneficiary’s replacement without justification should not occur.
The deposit will be held by the guardian if the beneficiary that the member designates is a minor.
There can be a maximum of 6 beneficiaries listed on the EPF beneficiary nomination form. Members may choose to complete more than one form if they wish to nominate additional beneficiaries.
The names of all beneficiaries must be entered again if a member wants to change the beneficiaries listed, either by adding or removing beneficiaries.
Note: Online beneficiary nominations are accepted every day from 12:00 am to 8:00 pm.
