Hi all

How difficult is it to claim the deceased fund in EPF if you're the nominee?

I've seen a list of 10+ documents to produce and honestly speaking, it's not easy to get those fund.

Appreciate if anyone who has experienced it can share some experience.

Thanks.

I believe it's the one listed on KWSP website.

1. Form KWSP 9KM (AHL) and checklist -> should be able to get from front counter
2. Copy of identification documents with original for verification
3. Copy of applicant's birth certificate with original for verification (if required)
4. Member's death certificate or nominee's death certificate (if nominee has passed away)
5. Member's birth certificate (if member is unmarried) or marriage certificate (if member is married) or member's divorce certificate/ proof of relation to applicant (if member is divorced)
6. Bank account details (savings account statement/ current account statement/ verification letter of account holder's details from bank/ estate account of the deceased - under deceased's name)
7. Declaration of marriage letter (if member is a Non-Muslim married before 1 March 1982)
8. Power of attorney (official letter issued by the courts/ legal institutions/ Amanah Raya Berhad (ARB)) -> this is if you have grant of probate or something similar
9. Recipient's declaration of responsibility (Muslims - Appendix A)
10. Recipient's declaration of responsibility (Non-Muslims - Appendix B)
