<h2>Old Age, Disability, and Survivors</h2>
|
|
<h3>Regulatory Framework</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">First law:</span> 1965 (social security).</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Current law:</span> 2013 (mandatory individual account and provident fund), implemented in 2014.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Type of program:</span> Mandatory individual account and voluntary provident fund system.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: The 2013 National Social Security Fund Act replaced the old provident fund with individual accounts (collectively called the pension fund) that are mandatory for all employed persons aged 18 to 60 and a new voluntary provident fund. Members of the old provident fund were automatically enrolled in the mandatory individual accounts; their assets in the old provident fund remain there.</p>
|
|
<h3>Coverage</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Mandatory individual account:</span> Employed persons in companies with at least one employee.</p>
|

However, a 2014 court ruling delayed the implementation of this increase. The rates below are for both tiers combined.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Insured person:</span> 5% of monthly earnings. The voluntarily insured pay at least 100 shillings a month.</p>
|
|
<p>The maximum monthly earnings used to calculate mandatory contributions are 4,000 shillings.</p>

|
<p>There are no maximum earnings used to calculate voluntary contributions.</p>
