Can the Beneficiary Representative still apply to make a claim if he / she knows the existence of other beneficiary but is unaware of all the beneficiary’s name, identity number, and contact details?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Beneficiary Representative approach is a simplified process for disbursing the un-nominated CPF moneys of a Deceased CPF member that do not exceed $10,000.

Under the Beneficiary Representative approach, an eligible beneficiary who is entitled to a share of the un-nominated CPF moneys is allowed to represent all the other beneficiary to receive the full claim of the CPF moneys on his / her behalf, upon obtaining his / her consent. He / she is known as the Beneficiary Representative.

The onus is on the Beneficiary Representative to distribute the moneys to all the other beneficiary in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act 1967 (for non-Muslims) or the Administration of Muslim Law Act 1966 (for Muslims), subject to any instruction which the beneficiary may give concerning his / her entitlements.

The Beneficiary Representative will be unable to proceed with the Beneficiary Representative application as he / she is unable to obtain the consent of all beneficiary.

The Beneficiary Representative will then have to submit a standard claim application instead. For more information on standard claim application, please refer to https://go.gov.sg/cpf-estate.
