The Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) has recently decided not to provide birthday bonuses to its pensioners, citing various financial constraints and prioritization of essential benefits. This decision has sparked discussions among beneficiaries who have come to expect these bonuses as part of their annual benefits.
Additionally, the GEPF announced a 3.5 percent pension increase for 2026, a move aimed at adjusting to inflation and maintaining the purchasing power of pensioners. The fund emphasizes its commitment to ensuring sustainable financial management while balancing the needs of its members.
