Question
Must any outstanding payment(s) due to GPSSA be paid before a transfer request can be processed?

Any outstanding payment(s) due to GPSSA by an employer will be flagged by the system and the current employer will be given 5 days to make the outstanding payment (e.g., an outstanding contribution payment). If no payment is made within 5 days, the insured’s service period will be impacted accordingly (the service period for which the contribution isn’t made will be deducted from total service period). However, the transfer request will be processed.

If a payment by insured to GPSSA is outstanding (e.g., merge or purchase), the transfer request will be processed without affecting the payment of the service as the end of service is not being applied. The insured can continue paying the outstanding amount even after the transfer request is processed.
