Voluntary contributors will not be charged interest on contribution principal arrears, i.e., contributions due since voluntary registration but not yet paid.
Voluntary contributors are required to continue making contributions even after they have received a loan from the NHT. If their contributions fall into arrears, the sums due will be deducted from the sums tendered as mortgage payments. Voluntary Contributors who are borrowers would have contribution arrears payments deducted from their mortgage payments.
Voluntary contributors must have made at least 104 weeks (2 years) contributions, of which 52 weeks must be paid in the period immediately before the date of application. For example, if you contributed for five (5) years prior to migrating would, on registering as a voluntary contributor, you must contribute for at least an additional year before being eligible to apply for a loan. This change in requirement came into effect recently. Prior to this, Voluntary contributors were required to have made at least 52 weeks contributions with at least 13 payments made in the 26 week period immediately before the loan application.
All contribution refunds to voluntary contributors will be made in Jamaican dollars. Refund payments will be made directly to the contributor or if a mortgage exists, to the contributor’s loan account. In addition, mortgages to voluntary contributors will be transacted in Jamaican currency only.
Payments are only accepted in Jamaican Dollars (JMD) , therefore you would need to convert same to the JMD equivalent.
