This means leaving your pension rights in the Nottinghamshire County Council Pension Fund until they either become payable or you decide to transfer them.
You have an entitlement to a deferred benefit if you have qualifying membership of at least 2 years or you are otherwise prevented from having a refund of pension contributions.
If you choose this option, you will be sent a statement of the value of your deferred pension benefits and the date from which you can expect to receive them. You will also receive a statement every year to tell you how much your benefits have increased. It is essential therefore that you keep Notts LG Pensions Office informed of any changes to your name or address.
Note: those active members who moved into the 2014 scheme on 1 April 2014 and leave with between 3 months and 2 years membership in total have the option of either requesting a refund of contributions (assuming they meet the other criteria to claim a refund) or to be awarded a deferred benefit.
