For your prior service to be recognised, it must be:
- Applied for,
- Approved, and
- Paid for in full, before you stop working.
STEP ONE - The Application
Complete and submit the relevant ESSSuper form (see Next Steps).
You will then receive a response to your application, and if successful, a quote outlining the costs to recognise your prior service. A quote is only valid for 30 days. The quote will detail the monetary benefits (if applicable) of paying for the approved prior service and how much it will cost
STEP TWO - To proceed or not to proceed?
To proceed...
If you decide to proceed, you will need to pay the prior service costs and then any increase in your benefits will apply from the date of payment.
Your Annual Benefit Statement will indicate the date from which your benefits have been calculated.
The cost for prior service is not shown on your Annual Benefit Statement.
Not to proceed...
If you decide not to proceed at this stage, there will be no changes to your benefit.
If after 30 days or further in the future you decide that you would like to pay for your prior service, you will need to reapply for a new quote of how your benefits will be affected and a new costing will be issued.
Additional quotes may be different if your salary has increased or if your contribution rate should increase due to your age.
