CHILDREN'S PENSIONS PAYABLE IF THE DECEASED DIED AS A DEFERRED MEMBER
A deferred benefit means that the deceased was once a member of the LGPS but no longer paid into it when they died and chose to leave their contributions in the Scheme. In these circumstances, the following benefits would be payable to their eligible children:
|
One Child where Survivor's Pension payable |
 Deceased's Final Pay x Total Membership* x 1/320
= Annual Child's Pension
|
|
*This is the total membership used in calculating the deceased's deferred benefits.
|
|
Two or more Children where Survivor's Pension payable
|
 Deceased's Final Pay x Total Membership* x 1/160
= Annual Child's Pension (Shared equally between the children)
|
|
*This is the total membership used in calculating the deceased's deferred benefits.
|
|
One Child where NO Survivor's Pension payable |
|
Deceased's Final Pay x Total Membership x 1/240
= Annual Child's Pension
