KUALA LUMPUR (July 11): The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) said members below 55 years old may apply for the i-Citra withdrawal starting Monday July 12, three days earlier than previously scheduled. “The approved withdrawal amount will be paid for a period of up to five months, with a fixed monthly payment of RM1,000 per month subject to savings balance,” it added. EPF previously said the approved withdrawal amount will be paid for a period of up to five months, with a fixed monthly payment of RM1,000, subject to savings balance and minimum of RM50. The i-Citra withdrawal was introduced following the announcement of the PEMULIH economic stimulus package by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on June 28, as a temporary relief measure to help EPF members tide over the economic impact from Covid-19. “For further information on i-Citra and its application guideline, members may refer to the EPF’s official communication channels, its website at www.kwsp.gov.my, or call the i-Citra Hotline at 03-8922 4848,” EPF said.
