Question
I have worked for several companies, but I have not collected my provident fund. Is there any way that I can withdraw my funds? I'm unemployed now. What documents are needed?
Answer
Your money will be in many different funds. For employers you left morethan two years ago, your money will most likely also be in (different)unclaimed benefit funds.
You need to contact the HR department of each of your former employers anda) find out where your money is; 2) request a withdrawal form if the moneyis still in the employer's retirement fund; or 3) request the contactdetails for the administrator who looks after the unclaimed benefit fund ifthe money has already been transferred, so that you can contact and requesta withdrawal from them. You must then complete these forms and providethe required supporting documentation, which will typically includecertified proof of your identity and proof of your banking details.
