The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) paid out a total of 32 billion Ugandan shillings to 2,636 beneficiaries in the quarter of October to December 2012. The majority (39%) received age benefits, followed by withdrawal benefits (29%) and exempted employment benefits (9%). On average, NSSF took 21 days to process benefits claims, with the time decreasing slightly from 22 days in October to 20 days in December.
2. NSSF has over the years been perceived by its members as an
institution that does not pay members their savings even when
they meet the qualifying requirements. It is believed that NSSF
pays out only when a member dies.
