The Teachers Service Commission has instructed teachers in the Public Service Superannuation Fund to complete registration on the Member Self-Service Portal by July 12. The move supports the shift to a digital pension system under the Public Service Superannuation Scheme Act. Only about 20,000 of 334,442 teacher members have updated their details so far.
In a circular dated July 9, the commission told regional, county and sub-county directors to pass on the instruction to all teachers. Registration must be done on or before July 12 to help the fund move to a fully digital system.
Teachers can sign up through the fund website or the PSSF Pension App on Google Play. The portal lets members update details, view statements and contribution history, and submit requests online. They must also complete PSSF 2 Beneficiary Nomination Forms.
The commission warned that missing the deadline will stop teachers from tracking their savings and may slow pension processing when they retire. The change forms part of the Public Service Superannuation Scheme Act, under which employers and employees contribute to build retirement savings.
