For GEPF pensioners, staying informed about payment dates is crucial for financial planning. The Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) understands this necessity and has established a calendar outlining payment dates for 2024. However, it’s essential to note that these dates are subject to change, so staying updated is paramount.
Understanding GEPF Payment Dates
GEPF disburses monthly pensions to different groups of pensioners on two distinct dates:
- Pensioners Retired on or Before 31 December 2002: These individuals receive their pensions on the first day of each month, representing payment for that month in advance.
- Pensioners Retired After 31 December 2002: Pensioners falling into this category receive their pensions on the last day of each month, representing payment for the preceding month in arrears.
GEPF Payment Dates for 2024
Here’s a detailed breakdown of payment dates for both pensioner groups throughout 2024:
| Month | Date for Pensioners Retired on or Before 31 December 2002 | Date for Pensioners Retired After 31 December 2002 |

Important Considerations
- Flexibility: While GEPF provides these payment dates, it’s essential to remain flexible as circumstances may lead to changes.
- Financial Planning: Pensioners should use these dates as a foundation for financial planning, ensuring that funds are allocated appropriately.
Staying informed about pension payment dates is key for pensioners to effectively manage their finances. With GEPF’s calendar for 2024, pensioners can mark their calendars and plan ahead with confidence. However, it’s advisable to remain vigilant for any updates or changes to the payment schedule. GEPF remains committed to supporting pensioners and ensuring timely disbursement of pensions throughout the year.
