Division 2

Benefits for non-member spouse -
associate pension or preserved benefit

Associate pension or preserved benefit for non-member spouse

16.2.1  This Division applies to a superannuation interest under these Rules (the original interest) if:

(a)                the Board receives a splitting agreement or splitting order in respect of the original interest; and

(b)               the splitting agreement, or splitting order, has:

(i)                  an operative time on or after the commencement of Schedule 1 to the Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Family Law and Other Matters) Act 2004; or

(ii)                an operative time earlier than the commencement of Schedule 1 to the Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Family Law and Other Matters) Act 2004 and no benefits have become payable before that time in respect of the original interest to which the agreement or order relates; and

            (c)      the original interest is not an entitlement under Rules 7.1.3, 7.1.4, 7.3.2 and 7.3.7; and

            (d)      the member spouse and the non-member spouse are both alive at the operative time; and

(e)                if a base amount applies—the base amount at the operative time is not more than the family law value or the scheme value.

16.2.2  Scheme value in relation to a member spouse:

            (a)      where the operative time is before the commencement of this Part—is the family law value; or

            (b)      where the operative time is on or after the commencement of this Part:

         (i)      is determined using the applicable methods and factors in Division 8 as in force at the operative time; or

        (ii)      if it is not possible to determine the scheme value using that methods and those factors, it is to be determined by an actuary appointed by the Board for this rule.

Associate pension for non-member spouse if operative time in payment phase

16.2.3  If, at the operative time, standard pension is payable in respect of the original interest, the non-member spouse is entitled to associate standard pension from the operative time, at the rate calculated by reference to the separation amount.

16.2.4    The annual rate of associate standard pension is calculated as follows:

            (a)      work through each step in the order set out below:

Step 1

Identify the separation amount in relation to the non-member spouse.

Step 2

Work out a pension factor (y+m) based on the non-member spouse’s gender and age, using the formula:

where

Fy is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 1 of Division 7 applicable, at the operative time, to the non-member spouse’s gender and age in completed years;

m is the number of completed months of the non-member spouse’s age, at the operative time, that are not included in the non-member spouse’s age in completed years; and

FY + 1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 1 of Division 7 that would apply if the person's age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

Note   The associate standard pension does not include a reversionary component.

Step 3

Divide the amount worked out in step 1 by the pension factor worked out in step 2.

The result is the annual rate of the associate standard pension.

            (b)      however, if it is not possible to calculate the annual rate of associate standard pension using paragraph (a), the annual rate of associate standard pension payable to a non-member spouse is to be calculated by an actuary appointed by the Board for this rule.

 

Note:

If the member’s pension includes a funded component, the associate standard pension should include a funded component in the same proportion.

 

16.2.5  If the annual rate of associate standard pension to which the non-member spouse becomes entitled is less than $1300, the non-member spouse may elect to commute the pension.

16.2.6  The amount of $1300 is to be indexed in the same way, and at the same time, as a standard pension is indexed under Division 6 of Part 9 of these Rules.

16.2.7  The election under Rule 16.2.5 must be made in writing to the Board not later than three months after the non-member spouse becomes entitled to the pension, or within such further period as the Board allows.

16.2.8  If the non-member spouse makes the election under Rule 16.2.5, then the non-member spouse is entitled instead to a lump sum equal to the separation amount.

Associate preserved benefit if operative time in growth phase

16.2.9  If, at the operative time, standard pension is not payable in respect of the original interest, then the non-member spouse is entitled to associate preserved benefit in accordance with Division 3 of this Part.

 

Division 3

Benefits for non-member spouse -
associate preserved benefit

Associate preserved benefit

16.3.1    Associate preserved benefit consists of:

            (a)      a lump sum equal to the funded component of the separation amount, together with interest (if any) in respect of that amount in accordance with a determination or determinations by the Board as to rates of interest and method of allocation taking into account any reduction under paragraph 16.5.2(a); and

            (b)      a lump sum equal to the unfunded component of the separation amount, increased as follows taking into account any reduction under paragraph 16.5.2(b):

Step 1

Identify the unfunded component of the separation amount at the operative time.

Step 2

Increase the unfunded component for any period between the operative time and the time at which the associate preserved benefit first becomes payable, using the Treasury bond rate for the last working day of the financial year ending immediately before the period for which the increase is being calculated for bonds with a 10 year term.

Note   The period between the operative time and the time at which the associate preserved benefit first becomes payable may include a number of full financial years, or may occur entirely within a single financial year.

 

Treasury bond rate for bonds with a 10 year term

The Treasury bond rate for the last working day of a financial year for bonds with a 10 year term is:

(a)   if any Treasury bonds with that term were issued on that day — the annual yield on those bonds; or

(b)   in any other case — the annual yield on Treasury bonds with that term, as published by the Reserve Bank of Australia for that day.

 

Calculation of increase in separation amount

The increase in the unfunded component is calculated:

(a)   at the end of each financial year that occurs between the operative time and the time at which the associate preserved benefit first becomes payable; and

(b)   immediately before the associate preserved benefit first becomes payable;

using the applicable Treasury bond rate for the relevant period worked out in steps 3, 4 and 5, and compounded period by period.

Step 3

First period

Identify the shorter of:

(a)   the period between the operative time and the end of the financial year in which the operative time occurs; and

(b)   the period between the operative time and the day before the associate preserved benefit becomes payable.

This is the first period.

Multiply the number of days in the first period by the Treasury bond rate for bonds with a 10 year term that is applicable to the financial year in which the first period occurs, and divide the result by 365.

Round the result to 3 decimal places.

The result is the applicable Treasury bond rate for the first period.

Step 4

Full financial years (if any)

Use this step if a full financial year occurs immediately after the end of the first period and before the associate preserved benefit becomes payable. This is the second period.

Identify the Treasury bond rate for bonds with a 10 year term that is applicable to the financial year.

Round the result to 3 decimal places.

The result is the applicable Treasury bond rate for the second period.

Repeat this arrangement for each full financial year after the second period.

Step 5

Final period (if any)

Use this step if:

(a)   there is any period between the end of a financial year and the time at which the associate preserved benefit first becomes payable; and

(b)   neither step 3 nor step 4 covers that period.

This is the final period.

Multiply the number of days in the final period by the Treasury bond rate for bonds with a 10 year term that is applicable to the financial year in which the final period occurs, and divide the result by 365.

Round the result to 3 decimal places.

The result is the applicable Treasury bond rate for the final period.

 

16.3.2    The benefit becomes payable at the later of the operative time and the relevant time.  The relevant time is the earlier or earliest of whichever of the following dates are applicable to the associate:

        (a)      the date the Board decides that the associate is suffering from a terminal medical condition; or

        (b)      the date the Board decides that the associate is unlikely, because of a physical or mental incapacity, ever to be able to work again in a job for which he/she is reasonably qualified by education, training or experience or could reasonably be qualified after retraining; or

        (c)      if the associate is entitled to a payment under Rule 16.3.9—the date the Board is satisfied that the associate departed from Australia permanently; or

        (d)      the date notified to the Board under Rule 16.3.3; or

        (e)      the date the associate reaches age 65.

16.3.3    The associate may give a written notice to the Board specifying a date that is not earlier than the date the associate reaches age 55.

Benefit options – on reaching certain ages

16.3.4    This rule applies to an associate whose associate preserved benefit has become payable on a date mentioned in paragraph 16.3.2(d) or (e).  The associate may choose:

            (a)      to be paid a lump sum of that part of his/her associate preserved benefit that the SIS Act permits to be paid in cash, or a lump sum of less than that amount, and:

         (i)      roll-over the balance of his/her associate preserved benefit; or

        (ii)      if the balance is 50% or more of his/her associate preserved benefit and the associate preserved benefit includes all of the funded component, convert the balance into an associate preserved pension, provided that the payment of the associate preserved pension is permitted by the SIS Act; or

            (b)      to take his/her associate preserved benefit as an associate preserved pension provided that the associate preserved benefit includes all of the funded component and the payment of the associate preserved pension is permitted by the SIS Act; or

            (c)      to roll-over his/her associate preserved benefit.

16.3.5    The amount of associate preserved pension is calculated as follows:

            (a)      work through each step in the order set out below:

Step 1

Identify the amount, if any, of the associate preserved benefit to be converted to associate preserved pension.

Note   This is the balance described in subparagraph 16.3.4(a)(ii) or the full amount as provided for by paragraph 16.3.4(b).

Step 2

Work out a pension factor (y+m) based on the associate’s gender and age, using the formula:

where

Fy is:

the valuation factor mentioned in Table 2 of Division 7, applicable, when the pension first becomes payable, to the associate’s gender and age in completed years;

m is the number of completed months of the associate’s age, when the pension first becomes payable, that are not included in the associate’s age in completed years; and

FY + 1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 2 of Division 7 that would apply if the person's age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

Note   The associate preserved pension does not include a reversionary component.

Step 3

Divide the amount identified in step 1, by the pension factor worked out in step 2.

The result is the annual rate of the associate preserved pension.

            (b)      however, if it is not possible to calculate the annual rate of associate preserved pension using paragraph (a), the annual rate of associate preserved pension payable to an associate is to be calculated by an actuary appointed by the Board for this rule.

Benefit options – terminal medical condition or incapacity

16.3.6    An associate whose associate preserved benefit has become payable under Rule 16.3.2 on the date the Board decides the benefit is payable on grounds of a terminal medical condition or a physical or mental incapacity may choose:

            (a)      to take his/her associate preserved benefit:

         (i)      entirely as a associate preserved pension; or

        (ii)      as part associate preserved pension, provided that the associate preserved benefit includes all of the funded component, by converting at least all of the unfunded component into associate preserved pension, and the balance paid as a lump sum; or

            (b)      to be paid his/her associate preserved benefit as a lump sum.

16.3.7    The amount of associate preserved pension is calculated as follows:

            (a)      work through each step in the order set out below:

Step 1

Identify the amount, if any, of the associate preserved benefit to be converted to associate preserved pension.

Note   This is the full amount as provided for by subparagraph 16.3.6(a)(i) or the part described in subparagraph 16.3.6(a)(ii).

Step 2

Work out a pension factor (y+m) based on the associate’s gender and age, using the formula:

where

Fy is:

the valuation factor mentioned in Table 3 of Division 7, applicable, when the pension first becomes payable, to the associate’s gender and age in completed years;

m is the number of completed months of the associate’s age, when the pension first becomes payable, that are not included in the associate’s age in completed years; and

FY + 1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 3 of Division 7 that would apply if the person's age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

Note   The associate preserved pension does not include a reversionary component.

Step 3

Divide the amount identified in step 1 by the pension factor worked out in step 2.

The result is the annual rate of the associate preserved pension.

            (b)      however, if it is not possible to calculate the annual rate of associate preserved pension using paragraph (a), the annual rate of associate preserved pension payable to an associate is to be calculated by an actuary appointed by the Board for this rule.

Payment of lump sum on death of a non-member spouse

16.3.8    If the associate dies before his/her associate preserved benefit becomes payable, the Board must pay the benefit as a lump sum to his/her legal personal representative or, if no legal personal representative can be found, to any individual or individuals that the Board determines.

Payment of lump sum on leaving Australia permanently

16.3.9    An associate is to be paid his/her associate preserved benefit as a lump sum if:

            (a)      the Board is satisfied that he/she is departing from Australia permanently; and

            (b)      the payment is permitted by the SIS Act.

Access to all or part of associate preserved benefit

16.3.10  An associate who applies to the Board for the early release of his/her associate preserved benefit on the grounds of severe financial hardship may, at any time, choose to be paid a lump sum to the value approved by the Board and have the balance of the associate preserved benefit (if any) remain in the scheme.

16.3.11  An associate who applies to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority for the early release of his/her associate preserved benefit on compassionate grounds may, at any time, choose to be paid a lump sum to the value approved by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and have the balance of the associate preserved benefit (if any) remain in the scheme.

16.3.12  An associate who has been paid a lump sum under Rules 16.3.10 or 16.3.11 can be paid further amounts under those Rules provided that any further payments have been approved by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, or the Board, as the case may be.

Payment of amounts by the Board to the Commonwealth

16.3.13  When the funded component, or part of that component, becomes payable, an equal amount must be paid by the Board out of the PSS Fund to the Commonwealth.

 

Division 4

Reduction of benefits for member spouse – operative time during growth phase

Operative time during growth phase – reduction of benefits

16.4.1  This Division applies if:

            (a)      at the operative time, standard pension is not payable in respect of the original interest; and

            (b)      the original interest is not an entitlement to associate preserved benefit.

Reduction of accumulated contributions etc.

16.4.2  At the operative time the following amounts are reduced in respect of the original interest:

            (a)      the accumulated member contributions are reduced by the member contributions component; and

            (b)      the accumulated productivity contributions are reduced by the productivity contributions component; and

            (c)      the accumulated transfer amount and the Transfer Multiple Amount are reduced by the additional accumulation component.

Reduction of benefit multiple where member spouse not a preserved benefit member

16.4.3  Where the member spouse is not a preserved benefit member the Benefit Accrual Multiple (see Divisions 2 and 3 of Part 5) is reduced in respect of the original interest by the Reduction Multiple, which is calculated by multiplying the Benefit Accrual Multiple immediately before the operative time by the separation factor.

Note:

The reduction multiple is not to be taken into account when determining if the maximum benefit limit applies to the member spouse.  (See Divisions 6 and 7 of Part 5.)

 

Reduction of maximum benefits on cessation of membership

16.4.4  Where a reduction is made under Rule 16.4.3 in relation to a member spouse, when he/she ceases membership his/her maximum benefit at that time will be calculated in accordance with the following steps:

Step 1

Identify the original reduction multiple that applied to the person at the operative time.

Step 2

Calculate the maximum benefit lump sum that would be payable apart from this rule not taking the reduction multiple into account.

Step 3

Divide the amount calculated at step 2 by the person’s average salary to produce a multiple.

Step 4

Calculate a revised reduction multiple by applying the separation factor to the multiple calculated at step 3.

Step 5

Compare the two reduction multiples.

Step 6

Recalculate the maximum benefit by using the lesser of the reduction multiples.

Reduction of unfunded preserved benefit where member spouse is a preserved benefit member

16.4.5  At the operative time the unfunded preserved benefit is reduced in respect of the original interest by the unfunded component.

Reduction not to affect later non-standard pension

16.4.6  A reduction under this Part is to be disregarded in calculating the amount of any non-standard pension that later becomes payable.

 

Note:

For example, the reduction will be disregarded in calculating the amount of pension payable in respect of a child of the member spouse after the member spouse’s death where there is no pension payable to an eligible spouse (see Rules 7.1.4, 7.3.2 and 7.3.7).

 

Division 5

Reduction of benefits for member spouse – operative time during growth phase -
reduction where original interest is entitlement to associate preserved benefit

Operative time during growth phase – reduction where original interest is entitlement to associate preserved benefit

16.5.1  This Division applies if:

            (a)      at the operative time, standard pension is not payable in respect of the original interest; and

            (b)      the original interest is an entitlement to associate preserved benefit.

16.5.2  The following amounts are reduced in respect of the original interest from the operative time:

            (a)      the funded component is reduced by the funded component of the later separation amount; and

            (b)      the unfunded component is reduced by the unfunded component of the later separation amount.

 

Division 6

Reduction of benefits for member spouse – operative time during payment phase -
reduction of pension

Operative time during payment phase – reduction of pension

16.6.1    If, at the operative time, standard pension is payable in respect of the original interest, the annual rate of that pension is reduced as follows:

            (a)      work through each step in the order set out below:

Step 1

Identify the annual rate of standard pension that was payable in relation to the member spouse immediately before the operative time.

Step 2

If that annual rate of standard pension takes account of the existence of 1 or more eligible children or partially dependent children, deduct the part of the annual rate that takes account of the existence of those children.

Step 3

Work out a pension factor (y+m) based on the member spouse’s gender, age and kind of standard pension, using the formula:

where

Fy is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 4 of Division 7 applicable, at the operative time, to the member spouse’s gender and age in completed years;

m is the number of completed months of the member spouses age, at the operative time, that are not included in the member spouses age in completed years; and

FY + 1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 4 of Division 7 that would apply if the person's age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

Step 4

Multiply the annual rate of standard pension by the pension factor worked out in step 3.

Step 5

Subtract the separation amount from the amount worked out in step 4.

Step 6

Divide the amount worked out in step 5 by the pension factor worked out in step 3.

Step 7

If step 2 applies, increase the rate worked out in step 6 by the part of the rate that was deducted under step 2.

 

The result is the annual rate of the standard pension payable after the operative time in respect of the original interest.

            (b)      however, if it is not possible to calculate the annual rate of standard pension using paragraph (a), the annual rate of standard pension payable to a member spouse is to be calculated by an actuary appointed by the Board for this rule.

16.6.2  A reduction under this Division is to be disregarded in calculating the amount of any non-standard pension that later becomes payable.

Note:

For example, the reduction will be disregarded in calculating the amount of pension payable in respect of a child of the member spouse after the member spouse’s death where there is no pension payable to an eligible spouse (See Part 9).

Division 8

Methods and Factors used to determine scheme value in relation to member spouse

Member

16.8.1  The value of an interest that a person has as a member is to be worked out using the following formula:

ABM × AS × ABFy+m,s + AMC × (1 ‑ MCFy+m,s ) + APC × ( 1 - PCFy+m,s ) + ATA

where:

ABM is:

            (a)      for a maximum benefits member — the lump sum benefit the person would receive if the person ceased to be a member of the PSS scheme at the operative time, divided by the person’s average salary at the operative time; and

            (b)      for any other member — the benefit accrual multiple, within the meaning of Rule 5.2.1 or 5.3.1 of these Rules, as applicable, at the operative time, but excluding any excess contribution multiple that would apply if the person ceased membership of the PSS scheme at the operative time.

AS is the person’s average salary at the operative time.

ABFy+m,s is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

ABFy,s is the accrued benefit multiple valuation factor mentioned in whichever of Tables 1A to 1D is applicable, given the following:

            (a)      the person's first day of membership of the PSS scheme;

            (b)      the person’s gender;

            (c)      the person’s age in completed years at the operative time;

            (d)      the number of complete years between the person's first day of membership and the operative time.

m is the number of complete months of the person’s age, at the operative time, that are not included in the person’s completed years of age.

ABFy+1,s  is the accrued benefit multiple valuation factor mentioned in Table 1A to 1D that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

AMC is the person’s accumulated member contributions at the operative time.

MCFy+m,s is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

MCFy,s is the member contribution valuation factor mentioned in whichever of Tables 2A to 2D is applicable, given the following:

            (a)      the person's first day of membership of the PSS scheme;

            (b)      the person’s gender;

            (c)      the person’s age in completed years at the operative time;

            (d)      the number of complete years between the person’s first day of membership and the operative time.

m has the meaning given above.

MCFy+1,s is the member contribution valuation factor mentioned in Table 2A to 2D that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

APC is the person’s accumulated productivity contributions at the operative time.

PCFy+m,s is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

PCFy,s is the productivity contribution valuation factor mentioned in whichever of Tables 3A to 3D is applicable, given the following:

            (a)      the person's first day of membership of the PSS scheme;

            (b)      the person’s gender;

            (c)      the person’s age in completed years at the operative time;

            (d)      the number of complete years between the person's first day of membership and the operative time.

m has the meaning given above.

PCFy+1,s is the productivity contribution valuation factor mentioned in Table 3A to 3D that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

ATA is the accumulated transfer amount, or if there are 2 or more such amounts, the sum of those amounts, in respect of the person at the operative time.

Preserved benefit member eligible for benefit under paragraph 8.2.1(A)

16.8.2  This rule applies to the interest of a preserved benefit member who is eligible to receive a benefit under paragraph 8.2.1(A).  The value of the interest is to be worked out using the following formula:

UDB × UDBFy+m + FDB × FDBFy+m + ATA

where:

UDB is the unfunded preserved benefit included in the preserved benefit which, under Rule 8.6.2 of these Rules, increases in line with movements in the consumer price index, as at the operative time.

UDBFy+m is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

UDBFy is the unfunded valuation factor, mentioned in Table 4 that applies at the person’s age in completed years, at the operative time, for the person’s gender.

m is the number of complete months of the person’s age, at the operative time, that are not included in the person’s completed years of age.

UDBFy+1 is the unfunded valuation factor mentioned in Table 4 that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

FDB is the sum of the accumulated member contributions and the accumulated productivity contributions included in the preserved benefit which, under Rule 8.6.1 of these Rules, increases in line with the fund crediting rate, as at the operative time.

FDBFy+m is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

FDBFy is the funded valuation factor mentioned in Table 4 that applies at the person’s age in completed years, at the operative time, for the person’s gender.

m has the meaning given above.

FDBFy+1 is the funded valuation factor mentioned in Table 4 that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

ATA is the accumulated transfer amount, or if there are 2 or more such amounts, the sum of those amounts, in respect of the person at the operative time.

Preserved benefit member not eligible for benefit under paragraph 8.2.1(A)

16.8.3  This rule applies to the interest of a preserved benefit member who is not eligible to receive a benefit under paragraph 8.2.1(A).  The value of the interest is to be worked out using the following formula:

UDB × UDBFy+m + FDB + ATA

where:

UDB is the unfunded preserved benefit included in the preserved benefit which, under Rule 8.6.2 of these Rules, increases in line with movements in the consumer price index, as at the operative time.

UDBFy+m is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

UDBFy is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 5 that applies at the person’s age in completed years, at the operative time, for the person's gender.

m is the number of complete months of the person’s age, at the operative time, that are not included in the person’s completed years of age.

UDBFy+1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 5 that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.

FDB is the sum of any accumulated member contributions and any accumulated productivity contributions included in the preserved benefit which, under Rule 8.6.1 of these Rules, increases in line with the fund crediting rate, as at the operative time.

ATA is the accumulated transfer amount, or if there are 2 or more such amounts, the sum of those amounts, in respect of the person at the operative time.

Associate

16.8.4  The value of an interest that a person has as an associate is to be worked out using the following formula:

where:

FLS is the amount calculated under paragraph 16.3.1 (a) of these Rules that would be payable as a lump sum at the operative time.

UFLS is the amount calculated under paragraph 16.3.1 (b) of these Rules that would be payable as a lump sum at the operative time.

Pensioner

16.8.5  The value of an interest that a person has as a pensioner is to be worked out using the following formula:

P × Fy+m

where:

P is:

            (a)      for an invalidity pensioner — the annual pension amount payable to the person disregarding any reduction or suspension under Division 11 of Part 10 of these Rules; and

            (b)      in any other case — the annual pension amount payable to the person, other than any part of that pension that is additional pension paid in respect of 1 or more eligible children or partially dependent children.

Fy+m is the factor calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where:

Fy is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 6 that applies given the following:

            (a)      the person’s age in completed years at the operative time;

            (b)      the member’s gender;

            (c)      the type of pension.

m is the number of complete months of the person’s age, at the operative time, that are not included in the person’s completed years of age.

Fy+1 is the valuation factor mentioned in Table 6 that would apply if the person’s age in completed years at the operative time were 1 year more than it is.
