VECA News
The Board of Trustees of the Bahamas Hotel Industry Management Pension Fund introduced a new benefit that allowed participants to voluntarily defer a portion of their current salary as a savings for retirement. If you chose the Voluntary Employee Contribution Account (VECA), you would have set aside additional (savings) money to supplement the monthly pension benefit provided by your Employer through the Pension Plan at retirement. The Trustees granted 2.5% interest for VECA contributions in 2008, 7.0% in 2009, 6.0% in 2010, 2.0% in 2011, 4.5% in 2012, and 5.0% in 2013. All are extraordinary interest rates in today’s investment world. If you have questions regarding the VECA, you can call the Pension Fund Office or see your HR representative today.

What Happens If I Keep Working After I’ve Reached Age 65?

You may apply for and receive a pension at age 65 even if you are still working in covered employment at the time. Your employer will no longer make contributions to the Fund on your behalf, and you will stop earning additional pension credits. You may also choose to defer payments and receive an increased pension once you retire. In this case, your employer will continue to contribute to the Fund and you will continue to earn additional pension credits.
