Hi,

I am planning to nominate my siblings and or my mother for my epf. I don't have anything. I only have epf..


1. May i know how may pax can I nominate ? If I nominated 2 person which 1 will get 50%, does it mean they will receive half of my epf and the other person 50%

2. Is it safe to do online via app ?

3. Can I change my nominee in the future ?

4. If my nominess didn't want to take out the money because they want the compounding interest, it okay too ?

Thank you

1. you nominate how many pax u want and you can state the breakdown % of each nominee

2. Yes it is

3. Yes you can

4. Nominees have no control of your EPF until the event of your passing where your earlier stated % will go to them as the next of kin.

1. You can nominate how many nominees you can, in the end total should be 100% e.g. 3 person you want split into 30/30/40 or 25/25/50 or 10/10/80 or 1/1/98 all up to you as long as the total is 100% as stated in the form

Just log into EPF website and you can fill up the nominees and allocate as you like

Huh? Can change online or via app? Last time I want to do, come out message say must go counter physically.

first time must do over counter,

after that can do over app

yes i nominate 2 person. 50% each

i do have one epf questiona tumpang also...
lets say im nominee. and the person passed away, i no go claim also can right? the account still in the deceased epf..

For 2, i don't think you can nominate via app or online.... you may need to go to a EPF office to do so.

You can do the nomination online but you have to submit the form and give a thumbprint at a branch. The way it is explained is truly misleading.

It will only tell you that you need to be present at a branch to complete the process right at the end of the online nomination. You have 30 days to do it before it cancels itself.

Understand. Thanks man for the detailed explanation!

nomination can do online? I thought need to go counter and submit form

Are you a Muslim or non-M. It works differently

Do nomination online and go counter to submit form and thumbprint.

How bout just walk in take a number to do nomination ? Or you need to make appointment online before walking in.

this.

you can nominate online but after that, please go EPF to confirm your nomination.

they do so, so not any TDH can change nomination names by accessing your hp - will still need you to confirm.

they will have computer there for you to do nomination, then do thumbprint

First things first. Are you Muslim? If not, then you're good to go. An easy path ahead for you and your beloved family without any further complications.

No problem to do nomination online or via the app.

Make sure you have already verified your thumbprint & IC to activate your i-KWSP at KWSP office.

There was no form when I did mine mid last year. Just do it on the app and it will tell you to go to a branch to get thumbprinted at one of the self service machines within a number of days to get it confirmed.

Side track question.

1st. Is there a time bar for nominees to claim the money upon principal account holder death?

2nd. If 2 persons are being nominated. Both nominees must present at the same time to claim their respective share OR it can be done individually at a separate timing.

Is there a guideline on the above?

1st dunno

2nd you can go separately. You will get your portion.

Thanks for replying, mate.
Appreciated 🙏

Ts you Muslim or not?

For Muslim faraid> epf

can do online ; but u need to go counter to thumbprint as verification ..macam 2FA

u just assumed that online is just help u to "pre-fill" the form n details to speed up the process

Thinking of EPF nomination need to confirm if contributor is muslim or not first, as the disbursement of funds is different based on religion status

For nomination, u can only fill-up online.

In the end, must still print out the form, bring to KWSP office & perform MyKad + thumb print verification.

No need print out.

You do online / apps also in the end...
Still need to go EPF office

So better just don't do anything... Straight go to EPF office & get everything done there...

if you muslim, it still go faraid

Those who legitimately needed to do a 1st time registration and nomination and those who "better just don't do anything and straight to EPF office get everything done there" combined was the reason why I had to wait an hour and half to get thumbprinted in 2-3mins. Prefilling it in the app saves everyone a lot of time.

The kiosk screens don't have privacy screens and people in the queue can shoulder surf your details and account balance.

Which EPF office you went???

I went to HQ one...
Not even 15mins... My number already being called...

12 counters in operation with staff.... Excluding the Number taking counter & those kiosk which have 1 staff fully monitoring there...

Pucheong one. They didn't give out queue numbers that time. 2 lines. 1 for account 3 withdrawal and another for other stuff at the kiosk.

Huh?

Why like that one the arrangements...

No wonder very long waiting time & slow processing...

For Non-Muslims: How I completed the EPF nomination process...

I made the nomination through the KWSP i-Akaun app. Simply fill in the required details.

Within 30 days (if I'm not mistaken), you need to visit an EPF office. I went to the EPF Centre at Jalan Raja Laut. There are plenty of self-help kiosks available—around six units, if I recall correctly. There's no queue nor ticket needed. I went in and got it done within 5 minutes.

Insert your IC and provide your thumbprint for verification to complete the nomination process.

Afterward, you will receive an email containing an encrypted password to access the attached document titled "NOTIS KELULUSAN PENDAFTARAN PENAMAAN". This document will allow you to verify your personal information and the details of your nominee.

Hope this info will be useful for you.

Yeah that's why it's best to pre-fill it on the app and go there for authentication. Cos otherwise you'd be filling up the personal details in public and others can read.

I am not a Muslim. So sorry for the many questions.
I will nominate 2 person.

1. As a first timer, I have to go to verify at KWSP within 30 days am I correct ?

2. Since we can change nominee, can we change percentage as well ?
Also do we have to go to KWSP every time for this ?

3. Nominee will only be notified once the original holder passed away, is this correct ?

Thank you so much !

Answer 1: Yes, as a first-time user registering with the EPF, you are typically required to complete your identity verification at any EPF branch within 30 days of registration. This step is essential to activate your account and access EPF services, including i-Akaun.

Answer 2: You are allowed to adjust the percentage distribution among your nominee(s), as long as the total percentage adds up to 100%. You can do so via the KWSP i-Akaun app and go to any EPF branch and kautim sendiri at the self-help kiosk (no need to go to the counter) and insert your IC and provide your thumbprint for verification to complete the nomination process.

Answer 3: Once the EPF is informed of the account holder's death, nominees are contacted and guided on the process to claim the funds. If the person knows he/she is the nominee, better kautim sendiri by going to any EPF branch for fund claimage.

EPF won't contact the nominees, because they don't have their contact. Your nominees have to come forward to claim it.

Thank you all for your input. I will do so soon

Where to get the nomination form?

curious

if nominate 2 persons 50/50 %

if a person gone case. what happen to the other 50%?

It is online on the EPF website when you're adding a new nominee. Once you have finished the nomination, there's an option to download and print then form.

Do we need to bring witness when update nominations? I remembered 15 years ago when I put in nominees, need to bring 1 witness along.

Now you don't have to. KWSP already updated the policy as of 2017.

Oh ok.... thanks.
