The latest Quick Start guides are being published on the Civil Service Pensions website – www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/members/quick-start/
The first, a Quick Start guide to your Civil Service Pension provides members with an ‘at a glance’ view of the key features of the Civil Service Pension arrangements and is now available to view and download from the Quick Start zone.
We will also be publishing a Quick Start guide to Switching Schemes which remind members of the deadline for April 2017 switches, this will be available from 27 June.
Remember, the Quick Start calendar shows you all of the scheduled Quick Start guides for the year, enabling you to plan for the promotion of guides in advance, so check it out today.
Please signpost any employees who are eligible for scheme membership to the new guide on the Quick Start zone.
