Togo’s National Social Security Fund will conduct a life verification exercise for pensioners and annuitants from 16 November 2026 to 17 January 2027, in Togo and abroad. The campaign aims to update records and limit improper payments after beneficiaries’ deaths, according to the CNSS.
Togo’s National Social Security Fund (CNSS) will organise a life verification exercise for all its pensioners and annuitants from 16 November 2026 to 17 January 2027, in Togo and abroad. The campaign aims to update records and make social benefit payments more reliable, according to the CNSS.
Beneficiaries whose payments were made up to the end of October 2026 will have to complete the formalities through a fully digital procedure using biometric data collection via the Biosecu application. The CNSS intends in particular to replace paper life certificates and limit the risks associated with pensions being paid after their holders’ deaths, according to information provided by the institution.
The CNSS is urging the pensioners and annuitants concerned to complete these formalities within the prescribed deadlines and warns that failure to comply with the timetable exposes beneficiaries to sanctions.
