Pension Act changes give spouses more pension control
The Rossburn Review reports changes to the Pensions Benefits Act that let separating spouses waive mandatory pension asset splitting by mutual consent when pension values differ by no more than 20 percent. Labor Minister Gerrie Hammond notes the amendments reduce administrative cost and preserve pension income for both parties while maintaining the act’s original intent.
