You are entitled to a refund of your Social Insurance contributions

7 years ago

After a year a half of back and forth with the Bermuda Dept. of Social Insurance they refunded the payments I made to the Social Insurance Fund when I work there as an ex-pat for three years.

If you are now 65 or older, and worked in Bermuda as an ex-pat and paid into the Social Insurance Fund, you can get this "gratuity" too.

The link to the form does not work. I wrote an e-mail and was sent a pension form.
Do not fill in the online form - it infers that you are looking for a pension, which you are not entitled to. This is what spun my process into a year and a half. The Ministry's Business process for this is underdeveloped, dots do not join....
Instead, apply via letter to the very helpful Joy Joell:
Joy B. A. Joell
Senior Benefits Processor
Ministry of Finance
Department of Social Insurance
30 Parliament Street, Hamilton HM 12
P. O. Box HM 1537, Hamilton HM FX
Email: [email protected]
Tel: (441) 295-5151 Ext. 1856 Fax: (441) 292-5267

Good luck!
