PART JINTERCHANGE ETC.

Certain persons who become subject to other superannuation schemesJ13

1

Subject to paragraph (2), this regulation applies to a person who is in an employment—

a

under a passenger transport executive or a water authority in which he is a pensionable employee, or

b

in which he is an admitted employee within the meaning of regulation B3,

and for whose superannuation in that employment (“the relevant employment”) the body employing him can make other provision under an approved non-local government scheme which would be a contracted-out scheme in relation to the employment for the purposes of the Pensions Act.

2

This regulation does not apply to a person unless he gives written notice to the body employing him, and to the appropriate administering authority if different, that he wishes it to apply to him, and they consent to its doing so.

3

On the person's becoming subject in the relevant employment to an approved non-local government scheme, he shall be treated for the purposes of these regulations, except regulations C12 (return of contributions) and J2 to J6, as having ceased to hold the relevant employment.

4

On, but not before, the actual termination of the relevant employment, the person may, unless regulation J14 applies to him, request the payment of a transfer value under regulation J2.

5

If a transfer value is requested in the circumstances mentioned in paragraph (4)—

a

regulations J2 to J6 apply as if the person had continued to be employed in his local government employment until the date of the actual termination of the relevant employment, but

b

Schedule 16 applies as if his local government employment had ended on the day before he became subject to the approved non-local government scheme.
