From January 2018, MISA members who work at RMI establishments will qualify for the new improved benefits, which are linked to the Sick, Accident, and Maternity Pay Fund that MISA and the RMI negotiated in 2015. It is also important to note that you need to register to be eligible for the new benefits. 

As part of this exclusive agreement with the RMI, MISA members at RMI establishments now qualify for an additional R10 000 death benefit cover of R10 000, upon the passing of the main member. This is in addition to a R10 000 funeral cover for the principal member, spouse or partner and children between 14 and 18 years of age as well funeral cover of R 7 000 for children under the age of 14.

Please note that this additional benefit is subject to a waiting period of 8 weeks’ consecutive contributions.

No additional cost to the member
The cost of the Sick, Accident and Maternity Pay Fund and Funeral Benefits for MISA members at RMI establishments will be borne by their employers.
