Northern Ireland Statutory Rule
The Social Security Pensions (Upper Accrual Point: Prescribed Equivalent) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009
These Regulations are consequential on the introduction of the upper accrual point from 6 April 2009. The upper accrual point was introduced by the Pensions (No. 2) Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and replaces the upper earnings limit as the weekly amount above which individuals cease to accrue entitlement to the state second pension. In addition it is the upper limit on which a contracted-out rebate or minimum contribution is payable. The Regulations provide for the determination of prescribed equivalent of the upper accrual point where a person’s earnings period is other than a week.
