It takes up to 60 days for GEPF to process Child pension. In order to be considered for the benefit, the child must be a biological or adopted child of the deceased member or pensioner. Step children, or a child who was in the care of the member or pensioner, do not qualify for the benefit unless a child must be proven to be legally adopted or a biological child or the deceased member or pensioner.
An eligible child qualifies for child pension up to the age of 22, regardless whether or not the child is a student. If a child is disabled and fully dependant on the deceased member or pensioner, the child will qualify for the benefit until he or she passes away.
Child pensions are paid to the guardian until the age of 18, at which time the benefit must be paid to the major child pensioner directly. Once the child reaches the age of 18, the child must submit banking details in his or her own name as GEPF is not allowed to pay benefits due to a major child, into the account of another person. If GEPF is not furnished with the banking particulars of the major child, the benefit will be suspended until the banking details are submitted.
