Programmed Withdrawal
A method of payment where a retiree receives a monthly/quarterly pension payment over an estimated life span. A retiree can request for the balance in the Retirement Savings Account to be paid out to him or her via programmed withdrawals (PW).
Lump Sum
- Lump sum payment refers to the amount payable after sufficient provision have been made to procure a programmed withdrawal or an annuity that will produce an amount that should not be less than 50 percent of his/her annual salary as at the date of retirement.
- An RSA holder upon attaining retirement age will be eligible to make a lump sum withdrawal provided that the amount left in the RSA after the lump sum withdrawal is sufficient to fund monthly or quarterly programmed withdrawal or purchase an annuity.
- However, RSA holders may upon retirement or attaining the age of 50 years (whichever is later), purchase an annuity from a life insurance company licensed by the National Insurance Commission with monthly or quarterly payments.
