USS members and eligible members

Important information for Final Salary Section USS members regarding transfer-in and added years additional voluntary contributions (AVCs).

Following the USS Employer Consultation Process earlier this year, we are now able to pass on an update on transitional arrangements regarding final salary section AVCs and transfers-in. If you have no interest in either transfers into USS or AVCs, then the link below will not be of interest to you.

Please note that there are imminent deadlines for new final salary AVC contracts so please act now if you are considering purchasing Added Years AVCs.

There are also deadlines looming for USS final salary section members who may wish to request a transfer into USS.

Please see the link below for information regarding the transitional arrangements and key dates https://www.kent.ac.uk/finance-staff/docs/pensions/AVC%20TVin%20factsheet.pdf

Further information on scheme changes will be available shortly.

If you have any queries regarding these changes, please contact a member of the Pensions Team.

Please note: this does not affect SAUL members or eligible members.
