Transferring in a previous pension

​Transferring a pension into your scheme

If you have previous pension benefits, you may wish to transfer them into your pension with the Government of Jersey.  

Transfers can take a considerable amount of time to complete, so we advise that you start the process as soon as you become a member of the scheme.

If you are considering transferring pension from another public sector pension scheme in the UK, there is a requirement to complete the transfer process within 12 months of joining or re-joining your scheme.

The PEPT will accept transfers from:

• public sector pension schemes in the UK
  

• an occupational pension from your previous employer
  

• a personal pension plan
  

What to do

If you are considering transferring your previous pension in to your scheme, you will need to send us a cash equivalent transfer value (CETV) from your previous pension scheme.

The following booklets will provide you with detail on how to obtain a CETV

PEPF transfer in pension booklet

JTSF transfer in pension booklet

Forward us the all of the following documents that have been sent to you from your pension provider 

Once we receive your CETV we will prepare an estimate that will show the earned pension and/or service credit that the transfer will buy in your scheme.  You can then use the estimate to help you in making your decision to transfer.
