The Heirs Life Pension-regulated Annuity plan is specially designed for retirees aged 50 and above who want to earn a steady, life-long income, after retirement.
At retirement, you are given the option to transfer your pension funds to purchase an Annuity plan. If you buy the Heirs Life Annuity plan, we pay you a steady income for as long as you live.
Unlike Programmed withdrawals (Pension) which pays you until you exhaust your retirement savings balance, Annuity keeps paying you a steady amount for life and does not get exhausted.
If there is loss of life within the first 10 years of the policy, the balance is prorated and paid as a bulk amount to your beneficiary. This way, your hard-earned money still stays with your loved ones.
Sign up to Heirs and our team will do the rest.
We guarantee a seamless transition from your former contract to your new Heirs contract, without double coverage or risk of interruption.
On the third requirement, the client may use the following:
This is a stream of income purchased from a life insurance company with the available RSA balance under the CPS as premium. It provides a guaranteed periodic income (pension) to a retiree throughout his/her life after retirement. Annuity is guaranteed for ten years. If the retiree dies within the first ten years of taking up the Heirs Annuity plan, the named beneficiary on the policy is paid the present value of the balance outstanding in the guaranteed period.
A retiree can buy annuity by remitting his/her available RSA balance as premium to a Retiree Life Annuity Provider (Life Insurance Company) with the commitment to provide the monthly/quarterly annuity payments for life.
The Regulations on RLA are jointly issued by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and the National Pension Commission (PenCom).
A retiree on PW can change to RLA.
A retiree can request the PFA to transfer his RSA balance to his chosen Retiree Life Annuity Provider (RLA Provider), given the PFA one month notice.
A retiree on RLA cannot change to PW. This is because RLA is for life.
A retiree on RLA can change his RLA Provider after at least two years of being with the current RLA Provider with the approval of NAICOM.
The rist having been transferred to the RLA provider, RLA cannot be exhausted.
A retiree on RLA is expected to take his/her complaint to the RLA provider for resolution. However, where the retiree is not satisfied with the response of the RLA provider, he/she can seek the intervention of NAICOM.
The higher the lumpsum received the lower the available RSA balance for the premium, therefore lower monthly/quarterly annuity and vice versa.
