A STAFF OF OUR SCHOOL AFTER HAVING BEEN IN EPF FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS WANTS TO CLOSE HER EPF ACCOUNT WHILE IN SERVICE. SHE IS 52 YEARS OLD.
SINCE SHE IS CONTINUING AS OUR STAFF, WHAT IS HER STATUS RELATING TO THE ATTENDANCE AND SALARY REGISTER HENCEFORTH?
HAS SHE GOT TO RESIGN HER JOB AND REJOIN AFTER TWO MONTHS OR CAN SHE JUST RELINQUISH HER EPF MEMBERSHIP AND CONTINUE AS NON-EPF EMPLOYEE IN OUR REGISTER?
AFTER GETTING HER CLAIM SETTLED BY THE EPFO CAN SHE JOIN EPF ONCE AGAIN IF SHE SO DESIRES?
IF A PERSON AGED 62 YEARS WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE EPF IN A GOVT ORGANIZATION UNTIL 58 YEARS, AND HAS CLAIMED HIS EPF AMOUNT AND IS RECEIVING EPS, IS JOINING AS A NEW EMPLOYEE IN OUR SCHOOL, WHAT IS HIS PRESENT STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE?

The facility of EPF cannot be withdrawan from a working member of scheme.
A person joining after the age of 62 years of age is not entitled to be granted such facility.
