How to Claim your PSMBFI MER/MBIEV
The Public Safety Mutual Benefit Fund, Inc.
(PSMBFI) is a mutual benefit corporation that provides insurance and financial
services to its members, particularly uniformed PNP officers. The organization
strives to improve the advantages and services it provides to its members on a
regular basis.
On October 8, 2021, the PSMBFI released an advisory on the distribution of Member’s Experience Refund (MER) and Member’s Benefit from Interest on Equity Value (MBIEV) covering 2018-2019 before the year ends.
Now, what is MER? MBIEV?
Members Experience Refund (MER) is the portion of a policyholder’s premiums that is refunded to
them if the insurer’s loss experience is better than projected.
Members Benefit on Individual Equity Value (MBIEV) is an increase in membership fee that is
declared and distribute annually to its members to mitigate the impact of the
12% committed interest rate by reducing the amount of the Equity Value that
will earn interest at a compounded rate.
UPDATE: (As of April 16, 2024)
The PSMBFI will distribute the MER and/or MBIEV to “eligible” PSMBFI members who have not yet received their MER/MBIEV through Landbank of the Philippines PNP ATM Payroll Account on April 18, 2024.
Important Note: ONLY members who UPDATED
their contact information are eligible to receive their MER or MBIEV cash.
