You must check with your employer if you’re eligible to rejoin the Scheme.
If you’ve taken a refund of your pension contributions, you must have a 24-hour break in membership before returning to the Scheme.
If you rejoin within a month of claiming a refund, the refunded membership counts as qualifying membership. It does not form part of the pension benefits calculation.
You can rejoin the Scheme up to the age of 75.
The decision to opt in will take effect from the first day of the next full pay period.
The date of joining or rejoining cannot be backdated.
