NOMINATION OF BENEFICIARIES FOR FUNERAL BENEFITS

2 September 2022

As previously communicated, members must complete a Member Beneficiary
Nomination form in respect of their group funeral insurance benefit otherwise
the benefit will be paid into the member’s estate.

The Prudential Authority has provided clarification, where they confirmed that
the omission of such discretion from the definition of “beneficiary”, as
contained in Schedule 2 of the Insurance Act 18 of 2017 (“the Act”), was
deliberate in its statutory construct.

Given the intent of the funeral benefit is to contribute towards an employee’s
immediate funeral costs, neither the employer nor minor children should be
nominated as beneficiaries to avoid payment delays. It is important to note that
the Member Beneficiary Nomination form process applies to all unapproved funeral
benefits, irrespective of the Trustee-approved insurer. The insurers have
advised that going forward they will no longer pay out any Funeral benefits
without a nomination form. In cases where a Funeral nomination form is not
available, the benefit will form part of the estate and may not be available to
cover Funeral costs at the time of the funeral.
