Paragraph 36 Death of a pensioner transition member before reaching age 55: lump sum benefitF1

This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service who dies as a pensioner member of the AFPS 2015 before reaching age 55.

If regulation 81 (lump sum amount payable on death of pensioner member) of the AFP Regulations 2014 applies to the member, a lump sum death benefit is payable under that regulation.

If the member is a pensioner member of the AFPS 2005 and the conditions for payment of a lump sum benefit under rule E.15 (death of a member: lump sum benefit) and rule E.18 (amount of lump sum benefit under rule E.15: pensioner members) of the AFPS 2005 are met, a lump sum death benefit is not payable under rule E.18 of the AFPS 2005, but a lump sum equal to the sum that would have been paid under rule E.18 is payable under the AFPS 2015.

If the member is a deferred member of the AFPS 2005 and the conditions for payment of a lump sum benefit under rule E.15 and rule E.17 (amount of lump sum benefit under rule E.15: deferred members) of the AFPS 2005 are met, a lump sum death benefit is not payable under rule E.17 of the AFPS 2005 but a lump sum equal to the sum that would have been paid under rule E.17 is payable under the AFPS 2015.
