EMPLOYEE Provident Fund (EPF) offices and service counters will remain closed as the movement control order is extended from June 15 to 28 to curb the spread of Covid-19.

All prior Janji Temu Online (JTO) appointments are also cancelled with immediate effect, the retirement fund said in a statement today.

“Members are required to reschedule their visits to a later date via the JTO facility after the total lockdown period is over, if there is a need to be present at an EPF branche in person.

“Appointments for age 50, 55, 60 and incapacitation withdrawal applications will be given priority when the EPF offices and service counters are back in operation,” it said.

EPF branches will contact members who have applied for withdrawals or are awaiting payment via payment order and banker’s cheque, to arrange for pick ups or to complete the transaction at a selected branch.

Withdrawal applications for housing and upon reaching the ages of 50, 55 and 60 can be done online via i-Akaun.

However, the EPF said thumbprint verification to complete the online transactions can only be done when its offices and service counters reopen.

Members can call 03-8922 6000 or visit www.kwsp.gov.my for information. For i-Sinar, call 03-8922 4848. – Bernama, June 13, 2021.
