not sure got or not.

but when I did it, the officer asked me to withdraw after dividend has been declared, usually 2nd week of February. this is to smoothen the withdrawal process and not rugi the earned dividend.

however you can apply for khairat now.

2nd week of Feb

Updated : 31 January 2019

probably due to long cny holiday week.

am expecting to announce by this weekend because epf site downtime until 16 Feb (Sat), so announcement could be on Sat. in the annoucenment, they inform contributors can check the next day, which could be 17 Feb (Sun) whereby epf site has been restored.

yes still can earn dividend.

my experience, staff asked me to wait until dividend announcement before request to withdraw (due to death)

now, tricky part is nomination. if none, use a will. if none, epf will not release.

u need to follow due process to release the epf.

not easy to withdraw lor.
need to engage estate administrator to do all the work. one example is engage lawyer or amanahraya or land office.

no need lor. dividend is part of the final epf amount.

go straight to epf, the staff will check nomination status and verify your mom's nric (and other nominee's nric, if any). then only they disclose/print the final amount.

then fill in the form to withdraw. no questions to your mom as she is the nominee. if got other nominees, it will be disbursed according to ratio/split during nomination application)

also, you can get khairat /goodwill from epf (I think rm2.5k). it's part of the benefits.

check back epf office then.

imo, transfer within 1st month of the year, or as early as possible.

sadly, no. your wife need to visit epf office/kiosk.

while you're there, might as well do the nomination together.

1 visit, do all the necessary.

yeah, no more ROLLING TOTAL for each month.

doesnt matter.

some prefer it, some dont need it.

Malaysia At Work is the Malaysian answer to resolving employment challenges in the marketplace. Through this hiring incentive for employers, we want to connect ready, willing & able talent to jobs with dignity as we prepare our workforce for the future

Facilitated by Ministry of Finance through the EPF, Malaysia At Work will see active involvement and moral ownership from the following ministries:

- For the youth-focused Graduates At Work and Apprentice At Work initiatives – Ministry of Education and Ministry of Youth & Sports
- The Ministry of Women, Family and Community will look into the Women At Work component and
- To really focus on the needs of Locals At Work -- Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Human Resources


The “Account 3” by the EPF that would allow flexible withdrawal for the Malaysia At Work programmes will be completed by the beginning of the third quarter of 2020 the latest; Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng

usually 2nd weekend of Feb

THE Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is expected to declare a lower dividend for 2019, with experts forecasting a distribution of between 5.5% and 6.15%, largely dragged by the poor performance of the local stock market.

no point speculating endlessly

just wait for OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from KWPS/EPF

read/search previous posts.

this has been asked many times
