Guy, I suspect the guy that is linking up your friend with a Lady in question. That is the beginning of how your friend will swindle of his hard-earned retired benefit.
Fine there is not that is not possible in Naija but he must extra careful dealing with these people.

Hello Guys and gurus in the house.

Please someone dearly needs your financial advice.
My friend Joe (not real name) resigned early from his working place in 2019 and before the resignation, he had a pension plan with a Pension Company (name withheld). With the little he got from his former working place, he applied to retrieve his pension from the pension company but was told that he could only access 25% of the pensions for now.

The remaining funds, according to what he said they told him, can only be accessed when he clocks 50. That's more than a decade plus from the time of his resignation.

The funny thing about the whole ish is that, within the period he resigned, some older staffs(who were not up to 50 years in age) also resigned and had the same pension plan with him. They were also told the same thing about the 25% thing. Joe, called me up about a month ago and told me he and one of his old colleague that resigned the same time with him met at an event and they tried to catch up on how they've been fairing after resigning.

The discussion led to the friend laughing at Joe (in a mocking way), telling him that HE HAS GOTTEN FULL ACCESS TO THE REMAINING FUNDS IN HIS PENSION ACCOUNT. This guy is like a year or two older than Joe.

When Joe asked him how, he said he can't tell him how but he should understand that this is Nigeria. Joe has been begging this guy ever since to tell him not until yesterday that he sent a number to him via text telling him to call the number and tell the lady that he is from Joe's friend. He said the lady will link him up.


So guys and gurus in the house, I decided to throw this question here because I know most pension funds are handled by PENCOM and if it's still the same PENCOM I know, that rule of 50 years still stands.

So guys, please is it possible for someone to really have access to all his pension funds before he or she clocks 50? Sorry for the errors you might have encountered while reading and also the long post. Will appreciate if a response can be gotten as soon as possible. Thanks

After I left my job in 2010 after working for 9 years , I asked for my pension money from crusaderPEN and I was told I can only access 25% of my funds
I can only access my full funds if I clock 35 years in service or 55 years of age whichever comes first .
So I got only 25%.
Till today after leaving paid employment for almost 10 years , my pension fund had not even added up to 20% increase .

Op thanks for asking this question. I was thinking deeply about taking my pension funds soon but I didn’t know how. I even asked on my WhatsApp status so that anyone with info could advise me. Thanks
Re: Can Someone Access Their Pension Funds Before Official Retirement Age by judges: 5:12pm On Oct 18, 2021
You access only 25% just as you said after you are working with the company again.
They can also give you all your money if you are 50 years and your didn't reach their limit, I think 750k if am not mistaking and you are not working with the company.
Note: remember your birthday when you are filling the pension form is very important. Some have changed the birthday to the point they have forgetting the real date
Re: Can Someone Access Their Pension Funds Before Official Retirement Age by rickyrex(m): 5:13pm On Oct 18, 2021
From my experience and with the last call I made with my pension company... You can only access 25%of your money after 3months of not been on any job. And will be accompanying with a latter of resignation or termination of your job by your previous company as a prove. At 50yr you can access the rest. What I didn't confirm is if you are still working at 50yr weather you can access your pension fund or you must retire first.

People that retired at old age are protesting almost everyday, I mean grandpa's and mas, yet they are not getting their pension, not to talk of u that resigned..... Ur Joe better wait until he is 75 and above......

if you work with state or federal government that is when your penson will enter voice mail because they will only deduct the amount every month without remitting any to your RSA but if you work in a private setup and your are fully register with your pension certificate forget it you go get your money

most of the old people wey dey go goverment house up and down dey protest ask them to show you their pension certificate first

That guy is lying to your friend or they want to dupe him.
Even when you attain the retirement age of 50, you cannot have access to all your funds at once. A portion will be paid to you, the rest is programed or sent to annuity for monthly withdrawal until death or old age as you like but definitely not at once.

Yes it is possible.

I have accessed mine.

Work to your pension company tell them you want to access your pension fund on the ground of lost of job.

But you'll need to provide them with your appointment letter, resignation letter and other things they will tell you when getting there.

Note: Only 25% of your fund will be given to you.

The 25% is sure If you have been out of job for 3 months.
And the full access to pension is after you clock 50 years.
