NIB Bahamas Pension Eligibility & Vesting Rules
The National Insurance Board (NIB) administers retirement benefits under the National Insurance Act:
Full Monthly Pension (≥ 500 Weeks)
A minimum of 500 paid contribution weeks (~9.6 years) provides a baseline 30% wage replacement. Each additional 50 paid weeks adds 1% to the pension rate, up to a maximum statutory ceiling of 60% of average insurable weekly earnings.
Retirement Grant (150 - 499 Weeks)
Workers who reach age 65 with at least 150 weeks but fewer than 500 weeks qualify for a one-time Retirement Grant equal to 6 times their average weekly wage for each 50 contribution weeks.
Early Retirement (Age 60 - 64)
Workers may claim early pension starting at age 60 if they have retired from regular employment. The pension is reduced by 0.58% for each month (approximately 7% per year) prior to reaching age 65.
