The Hon. (Mrs.) Oshani Umanga
Hon. (Mrs.) Oshani Umanga asked whether employees who initially nominate parents or siblings for benefits through the ABH form are required to submit a separate form after marriage or having children to update the nomination, or whether changes occur automatically. She highlighted disputes that arise after an employee’s death when spouses seek benefits and requested that the Ministry of Labour implement a clearer process to inform employees about updating nominations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, my first Supplementary Question is this: When an employee first joins service, they fill the ABH form and often nominate parents or siblings for benefits. Later, after marriage and having children, is there a separate form to change the nomination, or is it done automatically? Many issues arise, especially when the spouse seeks benefits after death, as some do not remember whom they nominated. Will the Ministry of Labour implement a proper process to raise awareness among employees?
