Withdrawing funds from the Civil Servants’ Savings and Insurance (Taspen) is an important matter for participants and their heirs, especially when the participant has passed away and the heirs need those funds. Although it may seem quite complicated, the Taspen withdrawal process can be carried out easily as long as the applicable requirements and procedures are understood.

Many people are still confused about the documents that must be prepared when submitting a Taspen claim. Moreover, the submission flow. However, the completeness of the files and understanding of the procedures are certainly very important to ensure the withdrawal process runs smoothly without obstacles.

Therefore, detikJogja will share a complete guide to Taspen claims, starting from the requirement documents and the procedures. Let’s read the complete explanation below!

What is Taspen?

Taspen is known as funds given to civil servants (ASN) and state officials who have retired. As explained on its official website, Taspen is an acronym for Civil Servants’ Savings and Insurance Funds. With that same name, Taspen is also an Indonesian State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) operating in the field of retirement savings insurance and pension funds for ASN and state officials.

Taspen provides several programme options, including the following.

  • Old Age Savings (THT): a dual-purpose insurance programme whose benefits are given when the participant enters retirement and is equipped with life insurance protection in case of the risk of death.

  • Pension Programme: a guarantee programme in the form of regular monthly income received by the participant after entering retirement, including benefits that can be continued to the spouse or children if the participant dies.

  • Work Accident Insurance (JKK): a protection programme provided for the risk of accidents at work or illnesses arising from work, with benefits in the form of treatment costs, compensation, and disability allowances.

  • Death Insurance (JKM): a protection programme for participants who die not due to work accidents, with benefits in the form of death compensation, condolence money, and education assistance for heirs.
