Annuity Payment

This file is for loading annuity payment details / ad-hoc pension payments / ad-hoc pension increases.

 

Note:

A record is required for each payment, i.e. the principal member OR each dependant, AND for each deduction to be paid to a third party.

 

This file upload is used to load the Beneficiary membership record as well as the regular payment details for the beneficiary.

 

Validations

-          The date format must be correct (e.g. a date of 19521560 will reject because the month and day are invalid).

-          The member number must exist on the system.

-          Where fields require specific values, these values have been indicated in the Description / Value column of the detail record below.
