If you are wondering how long it will take you to get or receive your pension money.

Here is a short answer.

Your pension fund will be sent directly to you (the beneficiary) through your bank account.

This is after you have retired and all the required documents are provided successfully.

Your pension will be delivered to you almost immediately, but incase of any delays, the pension department will most certainly provide you with a legitimate reason for the delay.

Other things that may cause your pension to delay include:

  • Missing/inaccurate documents
  • Wrongly submitted documents
  • You are not yet 60 years according to the department

Unless otherwise, civil servants especially teachers retire at 60 years of age.

That’s when you can start receiving your pension money.

All retired civil servants receive their due from the Pensions Department which is under The National Treasury of the Republic of Kenya.

The National Treasury Department role is to pay pension funds to Civil Servants (like you), Police Officers, Teachers, Military, Members of Parliament, The President of Kenya and their departments.

One can easily request their pension funds following their employers guidelines for Pension processing.

A notice may be issued to a civil servant commonly 2 years before one retires.

  • Commute a fraction of his/her pension up to a quarter.
