How do I apply for my provident fund?

Question

How do I apply for my provident fund? What are the requirements and how do I go about it?

Answer

What do you mean by "apply for my provident fund"? Are you referring to claiming your benefit, or to joining a provident fund?

To claim your benefit, you must have resigned or retired from your employer. You must then complete a withdrawal notification form, and submit this, with required supporting documentation, to your HR department. They will counter-sign the form and forward all documents to the fund administrator, who will then follow your instructions.

To join a provident fund, you must become employed by a company that offers such a fund. You will then automatically become a member.
