Target Audience: University staff who are members of USS or who are eligible to join the scheme.

Earlier this year, the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) announced changes to pension benefits calculations which mean that members who take early retirement on or after 1st October 2024 are likely to receive lower pension benefits than if they retired on or before 30th September 2024. 

To support staff awareness and decision making, we have arranged for Mercers, the University’s pension advisers, to hold information sessions for USS members considering taking this option. An in persion session will be held on Thursday 2nd May at 12pm in the McCance Building (MC301). Colleagues interested in attending this session can book their place now.

If you are considering taking early retirement this year, please note that USS usually requires at least two months’ notice of your intention. You can contact the pensions office if you need any further information.
