  9. Review 2015 • Cornmarket has been appointed to administer the Plan from 1st September 2015 • Friends First have been retained as the underwriter of the Plan • 3 year rate guarantee: The new reduced rate is guaranteed for the next 3 years (until 1st November 2018). From 0.683% to 0.53% of gross salary (0.32% of net salary based on a member paying tax at the 40% rate). Reduction in cost

  10. Change in Benefit Level The University has taken the opportunity to amend the level of Death Benefit of the Plan from 3 to 2.5 times salary to bring it in line with the majority of similar Public Sector Plans and to remain within the tax-free lump sum threshold. Why? • In general, Public Sector employees are eligible for a Death Benefit gratuity of up to 1.5 times salary as part of their Superannuation Benefit. • Revenue stipulates that any benefit in excess of 4 times salary needs to be paid to the beneficiary as a pension annuity (rather than a tax-free lump sum). • All pension amounts payable under this annuity are subject to income tax and any other taxes, levies or charges required by law.

  11. New Enhancements • Accidental Death Benefit of €15,000 • Children’s Death Benefit of €4,000 (under age 21) • Special arrangements for unpaid Maternity,Parental, Adoptive & Carer’sLeave • Career Breaks – contributions can be waived for up to 5 years* *Terms & Conditions apply

  12. Who can join the Plan? All pensionable employees of NUI Galway, who are under age 65, are entitled to join the Plan. IMPORTANT: You must remain an employee of NUI Galway to remain an eligible member of the Plan. If you leave employment with NUI Galway you must inform Cornmarket in writing, as you can no longer stay in the Plan and you will not be able to claim from it.
