Can I have my retirement annuity paid out before age 55?


Question:

Can I have my retirement annuity paid out before age 55?

Answer:

Francois,

No, not unless you retire early due to ill-health, you formally emigrate or the retirement annuities' paid-up value is less than R7 000. And at age 55 (or thereafter), when you can access your retirement annuity, you will have to use two-thirds to buy an annuity (unless the retirement annuities' value is R75 000 or less).
