The National Pension Commission (PenCom) says it has extended the deadline for the online enrolment exercise for retirees and prospective retirees to December 31, 2021.

In a notice on Friday, the commission said the extension would ensure all eligible persons complete the enrolment process.

PenCom had earlier slated October 29, 2021, as the deadline for enrolment exercise for retirees of federal government treasury funded ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) due to retire from service between January – December 2021.

According to the commission, those eligible are employees who retired between January to October 2021; employees who are due to retire between November to December 2021; and retirees that missed the previous enrolment exercises from 2007 to 2019.

TheCable had reported that the commission developed a digital pre-retirement verification/enrolment exercise for employees of federal government treasury funded (MDAs) that are due to retire from service between January- December 2021.

The online enrolment application went live in September 2021.
