DIFFERENT BETWEEN PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL & ANNUITY
The Contributory Pension Scheme, CPS, seeks amongst others to ensure that every worker receives his retirement benefits as and when due.
Accordingly, Section 4(1) (b) of the Pension Reform Act, PRA 2004 allows a Retirement Savings Account, RSA, holder upon retirement to utilize the balance of his RSA for ‘Programmed withdrawal or annuity for life purchased from a life insurance company licensed by the National Insurance Commission, NAICOM, with monthly or quarterly payments.’
Features of Programmed Withdrawal

Pays pension over an expected life span
Longevity risk – RSA balance may be exhausted during life time
Retiree can collect lump sum, provided monthly pension is 50 per cent of last pay
If retiree dies within 10 years of retirement, RSA balance goes to beneficiaries of the deceased as inheritance
