Pension Protection Fund: Pension compensation sharing on divorce etc.
Start date: 31 March 2010
Closing date: 22 June 2010
This consultation sought views on two sets of draft Regulations.
The Pensions Act 2008 and the draft Regulations will enable pension compensation provided by the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) to be shared when a person seeks a divorce, a dissolution of their civil partnership or an annulment of their marriage or civil partnership. This will mean that the former spouse or civil partner of person who is a member of the PPF will be able to receive a share of that person's pension compensation.
