The employee has the following options:
- The employee can continue to contribute to the RA on an individual basis, after signing a debit order form
- The employee can make their RA paid-up and stop making further contributions
- The employee can transfer their RA to another RA provider
- If the employee is above the age of 55, they can claim their RA, in which case they will be required to use at least two-thirds to purchase a compulsory annuity (unless the RA value is less than R247,500)
- They can claim their RA as a cash lump sum if its paid-up value is less than R7,000, or they formally emigrate, or they have retired early due to ill-health (subject to medical proof).
