The Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha
Dr. Anil Jayantha explained that the EPF has established procedures and downloadable forms for updating member information and nominating beneficiaries. He said beneficiary claims require verification because of possible third-party interests, so the process cannot be handled entirely online without risking disputes. He acknowledged low public awareness among employees and beneficiaries and stated that the Department of Labour would take steps to improve it.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, EPF has procedures not only for paying benefits to a nominated beneficiary but also for updating a member’s information. A specific form exists for nominations, which can be downloaded. The difficulty is that, due to third-party interests in benefits, certain verifications are required and the process cannot be completed purely online to avoid disputes. We recognize the lack of public awareness among employees and beneficiaries, and the Department of Labour will work to improve awareness.
