Story: Emmanuel Modey, Hohoe
THE Hohoe branch of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has organised a forum at Hohoe to create awareness among teachers and non-teaching staff in the Jasikan District of the Volta Region.
The awareness drive, which was attended by participants drawn from 22 circuits in the district, was to sensitise them to the steps to adopt before their retirement.
The forum was in line with SSNIT’s “Project 54 and Above”, which is aimed at encouraging the participating organisations’ members in that age group to visit the SSNIT offices to be taken through processes of updating their records.
The objective of the project is to prepare them for processing their benefits, since they could retire at 55 years.
All relevant period pertaining to the financial claims and other issues like changing of beneficiaries, which needed to be updated, would be done to reflect the true state of affairs before they retired.
Briefing the Daily Graphic at Hohoe, the Hohoe branch Manager of SSNIT, Mr Richard Setsoafia, said oftentimes it had been found out that the old data was no longer relevant due to reasons like change of family, death or additional children.
The SSNIT Co-ordinator of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Mr Samuel Nyame, called on teachers to visit the nearest SSNIT office for their missing identity cards to be replaced.
