Currently the State Pension is payable from 66. If this remains the case when you retire then your Supplementary would end then - that is so even if it is being paid to you between 65 and 66 (rather that the current over-65 payment from Social Welfare). If the State Pension age was to rise to 68 in the meantime then the Supplementary would remain payable until then (unless there was some other SW payment for which you were then eligible in the meantime). If, for some reason, you don't qualify for the over-65 payment, etc, from SW at 65 then you should be eligible for the Supplementary immediately until the State Pension becomes payable.Would the civil service continue to pay out the supplementary pension amount when I am pension age i.e. 67 or 68 or would I have to engage with social welfare to receive this?
You need to separate out what you do at age 63 and at age 65. What you do when you retire at 63 is of no relevance as far as your current employer is concerned, ie, whether or not you apply for Social Welfare at that stage is up to you, and is not related to payment of the Supplementary at 65.I think that I would go to social welfare at 65? to 'sign on' for credits. I would just pay for prsi credits from 63 to 65. If they offer me the 9 months contributory jobseekers, then I will explain my situation. This offer will be rescinded when I am not looking for work. At least then, I can prove I have looked for any payments to which I am entitled. If i signed on with social welfare at 63, then i would have to get another letter from them at 65 for the supplementary pension.
Would there be two payments when I am 67 or 68? One from the civil service and one from social welfare? How would this work for cost neutral retirement? Social welfare may not know to apply the cost neutral to the social welfare portion of my pension.
