Interim payments directionsI169
1
If—
a
a person leaves an employment in which he was a member, because of an offence in connection with that employment; and
b
a forfeiture certificate has been issued under regulation 68(1) (forfeiture of pension rights after conviction of employment-related offences) in respect of that offence,
his former employing authority may give an interim payments direction to the Committee.
2
But his former employing authority may not give such a direction if it has given any direction under regulation 68(2) (“a forfeiture direction”).
3
An interim payments direction is a direction to make interim payments to any person who appears to the former employing authority to be a person who would be entitled to receive payment of a benefit under the Scheme if no forfeiture direction were given.
4
The person to whom payments must be made and the amounts must be specified in the direction.
5
The amounts must not exceed the amounts which the person specified would be entitled to be paid if no forfeiture direction were given.
6
An interim payments direction is not a decision under regulation 50 (first instance decisions – general) as to any person’s entitlement to a benefit.
7
Payments in accordance with an interim payments direction shall be deemed to be payments in respect of a benefit to which the recipient was entitled (regardless of any contrary forfeiture direction or decision under regulation 50).
