The Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) disburses monthly pensions on two distinct dates, depending on when the pensioner retired:
- Pensioners Retired on or Before 31 December 2002: These pensioners receive their payments on the first day of each month, representing payment for that month in advance.
- Pensioners Retired After 31 December 2002: Pensioners in this category receive their payments on the last day of each month, representing payment for the preceding month in arrears.
