• What are Military Veterans Pensions?

    The Minister of Defense and Military Veterans has under section 24(1) of the Military Veterans Act, 2011 (Act No. 18 of 2011), made the regulations in the Schedule. Military Veterans submitted a Memorandum of demands to the Presidency. One of the key demands was the urgent implementation of the outstanding Military Veterans Pension benefit.

    It is now with great pleasure to announce that the Government Pension Administration Agency (GPAA) has been appointed by the Department of Military Veterans (DMV) as the administrator for the Military Veterans Pension. GPAA will effectively accept application forms from the April 26, 2023 by the Military Veterans whom are legible for the Military Veterans Pension Fund.

NOTICE: 21 February 2024

UPDATE: Government Employees Pension Fund Offices and Call Centre Operational

The GEPF offices and call centre are now operational. This follows their closure since Friday, 16 February 2024, as a result of an attempt to gain unauthorised access to GEPF systems.

The GPAA has since restored regional office and call centre systems, and members and pensioners can now visit GEPF offices to submit claims and be assisted with other enquiries. The call centre operating hours have been extended from 07:30 to 18:00 until further notice. Work is currently underway to restore full functionality of the GEPF App.

The GEPF once again apologises for the inconvenience this has caused to the members, beneficiaries and pensioners. We reiterate that no payments were affected by this incident, and pensioners and members will receive their benefits as per their usual payment dates. The GEPF assures its members, pensioners, and beneficiaries that their benefits and personal information are safe, and that the administration system has not been compromised.
