Superannuation Act 1976

Subject to subsection (2), deferred benefits that are applicable in respect of a person under section 242C become payable on the day immediately after the earliest of the following dates:

if the person, by notice in writing given to CSC, selects a date for the commencement of the payment of the deferred benefits, being a date not earlier than:

the date on which the person attains the age that would have been the person’s minimum retiring age for the purposes of this Act if the person had not ceased to be an eligible employee and had continued to occupy the position held by the person immediately before so ceasing; and

the date on which the notice is given;

the date on which the person attains the age of 65 years;

if CSC is satisfied that the person has, because of invalidity or physical or mental incapacity, become totally and permanently incapacitated within the meaning of Part IVA—the date that CSC considers to have been the date on which the person became so incapacitated;

the date of the person’s death.

If, on a date worked out under paragraph (1)(a) or (b), the person has not ceased to be employed by, or to be a member of the staff of, the authority or body, that paragraph applies as if the date mentioned in the paragraph were the date on which the person so ceased to be employed by, or to be a member of the staff of, the authority or body, as the case may be.
