Payments of amounts owed to the scheme

This section has no associated Policy Notes

66.—(1) This regulation applies where a person (“P”) owes a net liability to the scheme after taking into account regulation 65.

(2) The scheme manager must send a notice in writing to P that the net liability must be paid.

(3) P must pay the amount of the net liability to the scheme manager—

(a)on or before a date determined by the scheme manager as being reasonable after having regard to all the circumstances of the case, or

(b)in accordance with an agreement under paragraph (4).

(4) P and the scheme manager may agree that the net liability is paid in part or in full—

(a)by instalments;

(b)by way of deductions from any benefits (including a lump sum benefit) to which P is entitled under the legacy scheme or the 2015 scheme; or

(c)by a combination of (a) and (b).

(5) But where the net liability includes amounts owed as a consequence of an election under regulation 8(1) and P is not a pensioner member, the scheme manager may not agree that the net liability is paid in part or in full accordance with paragraph (4)(b) or (c).

(6) P and the scheme manager may agree to vary an agreement made in accordance with paragraph (4).

(7) Where P does not pay the amount that P is required to pay under paragraph (3), the scheme manager may, after providing notice in writing to P, deduct such sums from benefits payable to P from the legacy scheme or the 2015 scheme as the scheme manager considers reasonable for the purpose of discharging P’s liability.
