Assurance benefit nomination and family entitlement govern payment, with murder-charge claims suspended pending criminal proceedings. The assurance benefit is payable to the nominee or nominees named by the member under the provident fund nomination, and such nomination is treated as a nomination under this scheme. If no nomination subsists, or if it covers only part of the credited amount, the remaining amount is payable to the family in equal shares. In the absence of both nomination and family entitlement, the amount is payable to the person legally entitled to it. A person charged with the murder of the member, or abetment of that offence, has the claim suspended until the criminal proceedings conclude.
