# The Judicial Pensions (Fee-Paid Judges) Regulations 2017, Regulation 128M: Resumption of contributions


(1) If an unretired FPJABS member ceases to make periodic contributions, they may apply to the administrators to resume making periodic contributions but any such application—
(a) must not be accepted if the member has reached the assumed retirement age;
(b) must not result in the member making contributions at a rate that is higher than the rate at which they were contributing before they ceased to pay periodic contributions; and
(c) must be accompanied by a declaration signed by the member stating that they have no reason to believe that health may prevent continuation of service until the assumed retirement age.
(2) If a member who has ceased to participate in the FPJABS under regulation 128G(6)(d), subsequently starts to pay contributions again, this regulation and regulations 128G, 128K, 128L, 128N and 128O apply separately to those contributions and the value of benefits purchased with them.
(3) If an application by a member under paragraph (1) to resume making contributions has been accepted and the member subsequently—
(a) dies or retires on the ground of ill-health within 12 months of the date on which they started to pay periodic contributions again; or
(b) dies or retires on the ground of ill-health because of an incapacity to which they became subject within 12 months of that date,
regulation 128L(6) does not apply unless the administrators are satisfied that the declaration given under paragraph (1)(c) was made in good faith.
