150 Request for acceptance of a transfer payment

(1) P may by notice to the scheme manager request that a transfer payment be accepted in respect of some or all of P’s accrued rights to benefits under another pension scheme. (2) A transfer payment request— (a) must specify— (i) the pension scheme from which the transfer payment is to be made; and (ii) the anticipated amount of the transfer payment; (b) must meet any other conditions the scheme manager requires; and (c) subject to paragraph (3), must be made during the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which P commences service in scheme employment. (3) A request that a transfer payment be accepted from the Civil Service Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme must be made— (a) within the period of 3 months ending with the day on which P is first entitled to receive retirement benefits under this scheme; or (b) if the scheme manager considers it reasonable in the circumstances, within any longer period the scheme manager directs. (4) The scheme manager may direct that a transfer payment request is to be treated as having been made earlier than it was if the scheme manager considers it reasonable to do so in the circumstances. (5) Subject to paragraph (6), on receiving a transfer payment request, the scheme manager may accept the transfer payment if all of such conditions as the scheme manager may have required are met. (6) The scheme manager may not accept a transfer value payment if— (a) it would be applied in whole or in part in respect of— (i) the member’s entitlement to a guaranteed minimum pension; or (ii) the entitlement of the member’s spouse to a guaranteed minimum pension; and (b) it is less than the amount required for that purpose, as calculated in accordance with guidance and tables determined by the Minister for the purposes of this paragraph, after consultation with the scheme actuary.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
