Document background
The Authorization Letter to Claim SSS Death Benefits is utilized when a beneficiary cannot personally process their claim for death benefits in Singapore. This document becomes necessary when practical constraints prevent the primary beneficiary from appearing in person, such as illness, overseas residence, or other valid reasons. The letter must comply with Singapore's legal requirements, particularly under the Central Provident Fund Act and related regulations. It includes crucial details such as the identities of the deceased, the authorizer, and the authorized person, the scope of authority granted, and the duration of authorization. This document serves as official evidence of the authorized person's right to act on behalf of the beneficiary in claiming death benefits.
