Get more out of your PSS

Take control of your 'Post 95 transfer amount' and consider the benefit of joining PSSap as an Ancillary member.

Components of your PSS

PSS is a Defined Benefit, this means your final benefit is determined by a formula. You also have an accumulation portion, for simplicity we call this the ‘Post 95’ transfer amount.

What is a Post 95 transfer amount?

  • Post 95 transfer amount is any money transferred into your PSS account after 1995. This includes amounts transferred from other super funds, or government contributions.

  • Your Post 95 transfer amount does not count towards your PSS Lifetime Pension.

You may choose to keep your Post 95 invested in your PSS account. However, when you access your PSS Defined Benefit, you must claim your Post 95 amount by rolling it into another super fund—like PSSap—or cash out (subject to preservation rules).

PSSap gives you more options
