Poor Service from GEMS
GEMS denies paying the surviving spouse a mere R 5147.57 from the late husband's MSA since 2014, after they requested "1. Letter of Authority, 2. Copy of Stamped bank statement of the person whom the refund is payable to (Spouse) and 3. Copy of ID of the person whom the refund is payable to". These were submitted to the Scheme since 2015 and to date they haven't paid. They are now saying the need proof of designated Estate Late Bank Account, what is this, the spouse closed the late husband's account bank in 2015, how will the bank be able to provide this, ? This is just nonsense , how can a scheme that is servicing government employees treat people like this.

Good day
Thank you for alerting us to your payment concerns.
Please note that as per the outcome of your CMS complaint the letter you submitted makes the surviving spouse the executor and therefore does not entitle the spouse to the MSA funds. In order for us to transfer the funds, please provide us with the estate late bank account details or open the estate late bank account.
According to our records, we did not received the above-mentioned details and therefore the funds could not be transferred.
We trust the above is in order.
