Here are the Documents Needed to Process TSC Pension Smoothly for Retired Teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revealed the required documents for your pension to be processed without any hitches once you have retired.

As per the guidelines provided by TSC, teachers who have reached the age of 60 years, exit service under compulsory retirement. TSC notifies the individual given two years before their date of retiring.

However, in special circumstances, the Teachers Service Commission might give a shorter notice of retirement.

Upon Receipt of the retirement notice, a teacher shall do the following:

• Promptly forward all the required documents listed in the notice.
• Indicate the full particulars of his or her bank account in the bank forms.
• Commute a fraction of his/her pension up to a quarter.
• Confirm Tax status with KRA and settle any tax liabilities.

Details on the Proposed Contributory Pension Scheme

The government proposed a public servants superannuation scheme. This is a defined pension benefit scheme where both the employer and the employee contribute certain amounts towards their pension benefits. It is mandatory for individuals who join the profession below the age of 45 years. Individuals who are over 45 years can choose to join.

Benefits of the proposed contributory Pension Scheme

1. An employee can transfer pension credits from a former employer to another with a similar pension scheme.
2. Those who remain in the free Pension Act will be bound by the provision of the Pensions Act cap 189.
3. The scheme allows employees to access part of their benefits even before the mandatory age of retiring.
4. Teachers joining the scheme from a non-contributory pension scheme will have their past benefits transferred to the new scheme.
5. Widows and Children’s Pension Scheme (WCPS) and NSSF contribution will cease immediately an employee joins the scheme.
