Under and Executive Pension Plan, 4 times your annual remuneration at the date of death can be paid to your dependents, together with a refund of any personal contributions to the plan. The balance can be transferred to an ARF or used to buy an annuity.
If you have an employer sponsored PRSA, or an Executive Pension Plan you can retire and take your benefits from age 50.
Under a PRB its also age 50, but you don’t need to retire.
Whereas with a Personal Pension Plan, or a PRSA without employer paid contributions its age 60.
We grant 24/7 online access to your EPP account and will also receive annual benefits statement through the post, together with one to one reviews.
If you have previous Defined Contribution (DC) occupational pension scheme benefits, you can leave them there for future retirement, transfer them to a PRB, or transfer them to your new private pension plan.
If your old employer scheme was Defined Benefit (DB) then you should leave them be.
Existing PRBs can also be transferred to new PRB, where better value exists.
Once you retire and you’re ready to the your pension benefits, you can opt to take a tax-free lump sum and reinvest the balance to draw an income, or you can buy a regular pension payment for life called an annuity.
