We previously advised you that from January 2018 members will only be able to opt out online (unless they have requested otherwise). Members will need a My Pension Online account in order to access the online opt out form.

Our intention is to introduce this process as soon as possible but the timeline has been pushed back, and we’ll advise you of the confirmed dates through the bulletin as soon as we know them.

To allow members to complete this process smoothly, it’s essential that all enrolment templates are submitted on time, as this allows members to complete a new opt out online. If you don’t complete the enrolment template on time we will not have details of the new contractual / automatic enrolment on our records from which the member can choose to opt out from.

In the meantime we’ll continue to offer members the opportunity to opt out of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme via a paper form or online.
