Admission Body
Following the consultation of the 2019 Funding Strategy Statement (FSS), the Fund's policy in respect of accepting new admission body applications from 1st April 2019 has now changed. The default arrangement is for all new admission bodies to pay the same primary contribution rate as the guarantor employer, preventing the requirement of an actuarial assessment upon commencement and termination.
LGPS Regulations Definition
An administering authority may make an admission agreement with:
- a body which provides a public service in the United Kingdom otherwise than for the purposes of gain and has sufficient links with a scheme employer for the body and the scheme employer to be regarded as having a community of interest, whether because the operations of the body are dependent on the operations of the scheme employer or otherwise, or
- a body to the funds of which any scheme employer contributes, or
- a body which provides or will provide a service or assets in connection with the exercise of a function of a scheme employer as a result of:
- the transfer of the service or assets by means of a contract or other arrangement.
Information required by us to process an admission body application:
- Completion of Fund questionnaire (currently under review)
