Stuur nou jou besonderhede vir die surplus in die ingenieursbedryfDie Metaal- en Ingenieursbedryf Aftreefondse het begin om alle voormalige lede op te spoor ingeval daar ‘n surplus is om uit te betaal.
Hierdie oefening sal ook gebruik word om voormalige lede wat hierdie fondse verlaat het en nooit die voordele wat hulle toegekom het, opgeëis het nie, te probeer opspoor en hulle voordele aan hulle uit te betaal. In die 1970s het baie werkers nie tot die fondse bygedra nie, maar hulle hulle werkgewers het wel.
En werkers se voordele wag al ál die jare onopgeëis vir hulle. Die trustees van die Fondse het daarom gevra dat enigiemand wat ‘n lid, ‘n pensioenaris of ‘n voormalige lid van die Fondse is of was, met die Administrateurs van die Metaalwerkers Voordeelfondse (MIBFA) in verbinding tree om seker te maak dat die Administrateurs die regte kontakbesonderhede vir hom of haar het.
Let wel:Wanneer jy met MIBFA in verbinding tree, moet jy sorg dat jy die volgende byderhand het:• Jou ID- of Dompasnommer • Dokumente soos ‘n Voordeelstaat, ‘n Lidmaatskapkaart of ‘n salarisstrokie wat wys dat bydraes by jou afgetrek is,• Kontaktelefoonnommer of selfoonnommer• Pos- en woonadres.
Die feit dat jy MIBFA kontak beteken nie dat jy op ‘n voordeel geregtig sal wees nie.Daar is geen registrasiefooi om MIBFA te kontak nie. Moenie derde partye betaal om jou te help om aan die Fondse te antwoord nie.
As jy nie weet hoe om om jou deel van die surplus aansoek te doen nie, kan jy jou naaste Numsa-kantoor skakel vir gratis hulp.
