NSL clears confusion over death benefits

A recent media article highlighted a person claiming to be the rightful beneficiary of a deceased Member's retirement savings which led to confusion.

NSL seeks to provide clarity on the procedures beneficiaries must follow to access such entitlements.

Contrary to the article's claim, the individual featured is not the nominated beneficiary of the late Member. The late Member had designated another individual as the rightful beneficiary, and NSL is in contact with this designated beneficiary.

NSL’s chief executive officer, Paul Sayer said that the Fund is very pleased to have received these funds as it enables NSL to process the benefit payments for 951 Members from various government departments that have been eagerly awaiting the remainder of their benefits.

“We are pleased to have received the K79.8 million on behalf of our Members. We thank the State, through the Departments of Finance and Treasury, for recognising the needs of our retirees as they look to make the most of the next chapter of their lives after retirement,” Sayer stated.

TUC garners support for NSL

At a joint statement, PNGTUC stated that it is in full support of Nambawan Super Ltd’s proposal to lockout the state tenants occupying its buildings if the payment of K60 million worth of 2023 rental arrears is not paid back before the close of business today.

PNGTUC Acting General Secretary, Antom Sekum and fellow congress members understand NSL’s ultimatum, which is being given in order to protect the retirement savings of members of member associations.

State issued final notice

This comes after the State’s failure to consistently make scheduled payments for its current rental invoices and arrears amounting to K113 million as at Tuesday, 1 August 2023.

The rental arrears have been accrued over several years by the State Departments occupying NSL’s Revenue Haus, Vulupindi Haus, Eda Tano Haus, Treasury Haus, AOPI Centre and NSL Haus in Lae.
