	(7)	If a co‑contribution or benefit rolled over from another superannuation fund or scheme is paid to the Board for a person who is a member of the State Scheme or the Police Superannuation Scheme but not, at the time of the payment, a member of the Triple S scheme, the person becomes a member of the Triple S scheme by virtue of this subregulation when the payment is received by the Board.

	(5)	However, if the Board is maintaining a co‑contribution account on behalf of a member of the State Scheme because of co‑contribution payments received in respect of that membership, the member does not cease to be a member of the Triple S scheme by virtue of the operation of subregulation (4).
	(6)	If—
	(a)	a person is a member of the scheme solely by virtue of being a member of the State Scheme in respect of whom a co‑contribution has been paid to the Board; and
	(b)	the person becomes entitled to the payment of benefits under the Superannuation Act 1988 and to the payment of the amount standing to the credit of the person's co‑contribution account,

	(4)	If a person who is a member of the scheme by virtue of regulation 9(2) becomes entitled to a benefit under this Subdivision, the person is not entitled to a benefit under section 30 or 36 of the Superannuation Act 1988.
	(5)	Despite any other regulation, a member may receive a disability pension under this Subdivision while engaged in remunerative activities if the Board is satisfied that the member is engaged in the activities for the purposes of a rehabilitation or return to work arrangement.
	(6)	However, if at any time during a financial year a member who is receiving, or would, but for this subregulation, be entitled to receive, a pension under this Subdivision is also receiving income from remunerative activities, the pension will be reduced by the amount by which the pension and income exceed, when aggregated, the amount that the member would be entitled to receive if the member were in receipt of the member's notional salary (within the meaning of regulation 36AAB) and if those payments equal or exceed that amount, the pension will be suspended.
36A—Notional salary
	(1)	For the purposes of regulation 36AAB, the notional salary of a member who is entitled to a disability pension is the salary that the member was receiving immediately before the commencement of the member's incapacity for work, adjusted at the commencement of each adjustment period to reflect—
	(a)	in the case of an April adjustment period—the percentage variation (rounded to 2 decimal places) between the Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding December quarter and the Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding June quarter; and
	(b)	in the case of an October adjustment period—the percentage variation (rounded to 2 decimal places) between the Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding June quarter and the Consumer Price Index for the immediately preceding December quarter.
	(2)	However—
	(a)	if the member was not, immediately before the commencement of the incapacity, in full‑time employment, the notional salary will be calculated by reference to a formula determined by the Board, having regard to such evidence of the member's salary (over the course of the member's employment or, if the member has been employed for more than 3 years, the last 3 years of the member's employment) as the Board considers appropriate (including, without limitation, premiums paid by the member under these regulations); and
	(b)	if the Board is satisfied that—
	(i)	the member was not, immediately before the commencement of his or her incapacity, in receipt of a shift work allowance or an on call allowance to which he or she would ordinarily be entitled; and
	(ii)	he or she was not in receipt of the allowance only because of a medical condition to which his or her incapacity is attributable,
the member will be taken to have been receiving the allowance immediately before the commencement of his or her incapacity.
	(3)	Despite subregulations (1) and (2), if a member's notional salary would, but for this subregulation, exceed the automatic acceptance limit, the member's notional salary is fixed at the automatic acceptance limit.
	(4)	A member whose notional salary is fixed under subregulation (3) may apply to the Board for additional income protection cover.
	(5)	Regulation 37A applies in relation to an application under subregulation (4).
	(6)	If the Board approves the member's application, the member's notional salary will be determined, subject to regulation 36B, under subregulation (1) or (2), as appropriate.
	(7)	The member may, by subsequent application in the approved form, apply for a reduction in the level of the member's income protection cover.
	(8)	If the Board approves the member's application, the member's notional salary will be fixed at the automatic acceptance limit unless and until the member's notional salary if determined under subregulation (1) or (2) would be set at a level lower than the automatic acceptance limit (and subregulations (1) and (2) will then apply for the purposes of determining the member's notional salary).
	(9)	If an application for additional income protection cover is granted subject to authorised conditions under regulation 37A, any entitlement of the member to a disability pension based on a notional salary set at a level higher than the automatic acceptance limit will be subject to those conditions (but the member will, if the member has income protection cover under these regulations that the member was not required to apply for, be entitled, without conditions, to a disability pension based on a notional salary fixed at the automatic acceptance limit).
	(9a)	An adjustment is not to be made under subregulation (1) if the effect of the adjustment would be to reduce the amount of a member's disability pension.
	(10)	In this regulation—
adjustment period means the period of 6 months commencing on 1 April and 1 October in each year;
April adjustment period means an adjustment period commencing on 1 April in any year;
automatic acceptance limit means a salary level fixed by the Board from time to time for the purposes of this definition;
Consumer Price Index means the Consumer Price Index (All groups index for Adelaide) published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics;
October adjustment period means an adjustment period commencing on 1 October in any year.
36B—Maximum level of income protection
	(1)	Despite any other regulation, the level of a member's income protection cover under this Part may not exceed the level of income protection cover provided where notional salary is equal to the maximum salary income protection cap.
	(2)	For the purposes of regulations 36AAB and 36A, the notional salary of a member whose salary exceeds the level of the maximum salary income protection cap will be fixed at the level of that cap and the member's disability pension premium will be determined accordingly.
	(3)	A member whose salary exceeds the maximum salary income protection cap may not apply for a level of income protection cover that exceeds the cover provided to a member whose notional salary is equal to the maximum salary income protection cap.
	(4)	In this regulation—
maximum salary income protection cap means a salary level fixed by the Board from time to time for the purposes of this definition.
37—Exemption from ambit of regulation 36
	(1)	A member (other than a prescribed member under the age of 60 years), may elect, in the approved form, to be exempted from the ambit of regulation 36.
	(2)	An election under subregulation (1) will take effect from a date determined by the Board.
	(3)	Subject to subregulation (4), a member employed on a casual basis is exempted from the ambit of regulation 36 unless—

	(b)	not more than 3 months before commencing that casual employment, the member was engaged in employment to which the Act applies on a full-time or part-time basis (other than as a casual employee) and had an entitlement to a disability pension under this Subdivision.
	(4)	A member who is exempted from the ambit of regulation 36 under subregulation (1) or (3) may apply to the Board to be brought within the ambit of that regulation.

	(b)	that an applicant has in the past engaged in a prescribed activity that increases the risk of incapacity for work; or
	(c)	that an applicant is likely in the future to engage in an activity of a kind referred to in paragraph (b),
the Board may refuse the application or grant the application on authorised conditions.
	(5)	Consideration of an application to which subregulation (4) applies may, if the Board thinks fit, be deferred for a reasonable period.
	(6)	A condition on which an application has been granted may be varied or removed by the Board if the Board considers it appropriate to do so following consideration of medical evidence provided by the applicant (but a condition may not be removed unless the Board is satisfied that none of the circumstances specified in subregulation (4)(a), (b) or (c) apply in relation to the applicant).
	(7)	Subject to subregulation (8), if it appears to the Board that an applicant withheld information required in relation to the member's application under this regulation, the Board may withhold or reduce the pension to which the applicant would otherwise have been entitled.

	(d)	in the case of a Super SA Select member—if an amount of the component of the account maintained by Super SA Select on behalf of the member attributable to employee contributions and employer contributions has been transferred to another complying fund, or an amount has been paid to the member in cash prior to the termination of their employment, that amount will nevertheless be taken, for the purposes of paragraph (b)(iv), to have accumulated in the account as if the transfer or payment had not been made.
	(8aa)	If the member's legal personal representative, spouse or estate (as the case may be) is entitled to a payment under subregulation (7), and—
	(a)	an amount standing to the credit of the member's employer contribution account or employee contribution account has been transferred to another complying fund under section 21B of the Act; or
	(b)	the member has taken an amount as a cash withdrawal under regulation 59A; or
	(c)	if the member is a Super SA Select member—an amount of the component of the account maintained by Super SA Select on behalf of the member attributable to employee contributions and employer contributions has been transferred to another complying fund,

	(c)	if the relevant member—
	(i)	has become incapacitated and satisfies the Board that the member—
	(A)	is suffering from ill health (whether physical or mental) that makes it unlikely that the member will at any future time engage in gainful employment for which the member is reasonably qualified by education, training or experience or for which the member could be expected to become reasonably qualified following appropriate training or rehabilitation; and
	(B)	is receiving treatment from a medical practitioner in respect of the ill health and is following the advice of the practitioner; or

Division 2—Spouse members
63—Benefits for spouse members
	(1)	Subject to this regulation, the following provisions apply in respect of an amount standing to the credit of a spouse member's spouse account:
	(a)	the whole of the amount may, at the option of the spouse member, be transferred to another complying fund;
	(aab)	subject to conditions determined by the Board, part of the amount may, at the option of the spouse member, be transferred to another complying fund;
	(ab)	if the spouse member—
	(i)	is the spouse of the relevant member; and
	(ii)	has attained the age of 65 years,
payment of the amount may be made to the spouse member or rolled over to some other fund or scheme approved by the Board;
	(b)	if—
	(i)	the spouse member—
	(A)	has reached the retirement age; and
	(B)	is the spouse of the relevant member; and
	(ii)	the employment of the relevant member has terminated or the relevant member has taken the benefit of regulation 56A,
payment of the amount may be made to the spouse member subject to restrictions (if any) imposed by the SIS Act;
	(c)	if—
	(i)	the spouse member—
	(A)	has not reached the retirement age; and
	(B)	is the spouse of the relevant member; and
	(ii)	the employment of the relevant member has terminated or the relevant member has taken the benefit of regulation 56A,
the amount must be preserved;
	(d)	if the spouse member—
	(i)	is not the spouse of the relevant member; and
	(ii)	has not reached the retirement age,
the amount must be preserved;
	(e)	if the spouse member—
	(i)	is not the spouse of the relevant member; and
	(ii)	has reached the retirement age,
payment of the amount may be made to the spouse member subject to restrictions (if any) imposed by the SIS Act.
Note—
If all amounts standing to the credit of a spouse member's accounts are paid to the spouse member, the spouse member's voluntary death insurance will be cancelled—see regulation 43(2).
	(2)	If an amount standing to the credit of a spouse member's spouse account is preserved under subregulation (1) or under section 21D(4) of the Act—
	(a)	the spouse member may elect to carry the amount over to some other fund or scheme approved by the Board; or
	(b)	subject to restrictions (if any) imposed by the SIS Act, the spouse member may at any time after reaching the retirement age require the Board to authorise payment of the amount and, if no such requirement has been made on or before the date on which the spouse member reaches 65 years of age, the Board will authorise payment of the amount to the spouse member.
	(3)	If the Board is satisfied that—
	(a)	a spouse member—
	(i)	is suffering from ill health (whether physical or mental) that makes it unlikely that the spouse member will at any future time engage in gainful employment for which the spouse member is reasonably qualified by education, training or experience or for which the spouse member could be expected to become reasonably qualified following appropriate training or rehabilitation; and
	(ii)	is receiving treatment from a medical practitioner in respect of the ill health and is following the advice of the practitioner; or
	(b)	a spouse member is suffering from a terminal illness,
the spouse member is entitled to benefits made up of the amount (if any) standing to the credit of each of the spouse member's spouse accounts.
	(4)	If a spouse member dies, the amount (if any) standing to the credit of each of the spouse member's spouse accounts, and the death insurance benefit (if any), will be paid to—

	(b)	if the deceased spouse member does not have a legal personal representative but is survived by a spouse—a payment will be made to the spouse; and
	(c)	if the deceased spouse member does not have a legal personal representative and is not survived by a spouse—a payment will be made to the spouse member's estate.
	(5)	However, a surviving spouse will not be entitled to a benefit under subregulation (4) if regulation 69 applies to the spouse.
	(5a)	Subregulation (4), insofar as it provides for payment of the death insurance benefit, does not apply in relation to the spouse of a public sector superannuation beneficiary (within the meaning of Part 3 Division 4) who has death insurance cover by virtue of regulation 47(9).
	(6)	A payment under subregulation (2), (3) or (4) excludes further rights so that a claim cannot subsequently be made under another of those subregulations.
	(7)	In this regulation—
complying fund has the same meaning as in Part 3A of the Act;
relevant member, in relation to a spouse member, means the member who, by making a prescribed payment (within the meaning of Part 2 Division 2), or a contribution under regulation 23(1), for the benefit of the spouse member, caused the spouse member to become a spouse member of the scheme.
63A—Early access to superannuation benefits in case of severe financial hardship or on compassionate grounds
	(1)	A spouse member may apply to the Board for the early release of an amount of the spouse member's benefit—
	(a)	if the spouse member is in severe financial hardship; or
	(b)	on a compassionate ground.
	(2)	The Board may require that an application under subregulation (1) be made in such manner, comply with such requirements and be on such terms and conditions as the Board thinks fit.
	(3)	The Board must, on receipt of an application under subregulation (1), determine whether, in the Board's opinion, if the SIS regulations applied, the spouse member would be taken for the purposes of those regulations—
	(a)	to be in severe financial hardship; or
	(b)	to satisfy a condition of release on a compassionate ground.
	(4)	If the Board makes a determination that subregulation (3)(a) or (b) applies to the spouse member, the Board must—
	(a)	determine the maximum amount that the SIS regulations would permit to be paid to the spouse member in those circumstances; and
	(b)	if the Board considers it appropriate to do so in all the circumstances, pay to the spouse member—
	(i)	the amount applied for by the spouse member; or
	(ii)	the amount determined by the Board under paragraph (a); or
	(iii)	the combined balance of the spouse member's eligible contribution accounts (subject to any minimum account balance required by the Board),
whichever is the lesser.
	(5)	If the Board makes a payment to a spouse member under subregulation (4)(b), the Board must debit the amount of the payment against the spouse member's contribution account or, if the credit balance of the spouse member's contribution account is not sufficient to make the payment, the spouse member's rollover account or co‑contribution account.
	(6)	A spouse member making an application under subregulation (1) must furnish the Board with any information that it requires for the purposes of making a determination under this regulation.
	(7)	In this regulation—
compassionate ground and condition of release have the same respective meanings as in Part 6 of the SIS regulations;
eligible contribution accounts of a spouse member means—
	(a)	the spouse member's contribution account; and
	(b)	the spouse member's rollover account; and
	(c)	the spouse member's co‑contribution account;
severe financial hardship has the same meaning as in Part 6 of the SIS regulations;
SIS regulations means the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 of the Commonwealth.

66—Non‑member spouse entitlement
	(1)	The Board must, on service of a splitting instrument, create an interest for the non‑member spouse named in the instrument in accordance with the provisions of the instrument, with effect from the operative time.
	(2)	The value of the non‑member spouse's interest will be determined by reference to the provisions of the instrument but in any event may not exceed the value of the member spouse's interest.
67—Payment of lump sum
	(1)	The interest of a non‑member spouse under regulation 66 will, according to the election of the non‑member spouse—
	(a)	be paid out to the extent (if any) that payment can be made in accordance with the SIS Act; or
	(b)	be retained to the credit of the non‑member spouse in an account in the name of the non‑member spouse in the Fund; or
	(c)	be rolled over or transferred to some other superannuation fund or scheme approved by the Board.
	(2)	The Board must, if necessary, establish a member's contribution account so as to provide for the requirements of subregulation (1)(b).
	(3)	The Board must ensure that the money constituting the interest of the non‑member spouse continues to be invested in the class of investments, or the combination of classes of investments, that the money was invested in before the creation of the interest unless or until the non‑member spouse makes a nomination under section 14(1) of the Act for his or her accounts to be invested in a different class of investments or combination of classes of investments.
	(4)	The Board must take the action required under subregulation (1) within 28 days after receiving the relevant election.
	(5)	However, if an election is not made by the non‑member spouse before the end of 28 days after the Board gives notice to the non‑member spouse, the Board must, subject to this regulation, transfer the interest to the credit of the non‑member spouse under subregulation (1)(b).
	(6)	A notice under subregulation (5) must—
	(a)	be in writing; and
	(b)	notify the non‑member spouse that the interest may be retained in the Triple S scheme; and
	(c)	advise the non‑member spouse of—

	(ii)	the value of his or her interest; and
	(iii)	the basis of any adjustments that have been, or will be, applied to the interest.
	(7)	If the interest of a non‑member spouse is transferred to the credit of the non‑member spouse in the Triple S scheme because an election has not been made, the Board must, within 14 days of the interest being rolled over—
	(a)	advise the non‑member spouse that his or her interest has been retained in the Triple S scheme; and
	(b)	provide the non‑member spouse with a membership identification number, a copy of the most recent annual report prepared in respect of the Triple S scheme and any other information that, according to a determination of the Board, may be of assistance to the non‑member spouse.
68—Effect on member's entitlement
	(1)	Despite the other provisions of the Act and these regulations, if a payment split is payable with respect to the superannuation interest of a member, there is a corresponding reduction in the entitlement of the member under the Act or these regulations.
	(2)	A reduction in the entitlement of a member will be given effect on the basis that the member's contribution account, rollover account, and co‑contribution account (insofar as they exist) will be subject to a charge that takes effect by reducing the balance of each of those accounts at the operative time (insofar as a balance exists) by a percentage equal to the percentage that the non‑member spouse's share in the relevant superannuation interest bears to the total value of the contributor's accrued superannuation benefit at the operative time (subject to any relevant method or factor adopted or applied by the regulations and to the extent necessary to take into account the full value of the entitlement of the non‑member spouse).
	(3)	A reduction in the entitlement of a member will not extend to any superannuation benefit that is not a splittable payment under Part VIIIB of the Family Law Act 1975 of the Commonwealth.
	(4)	If 2 or more reductions must be made with respect to an entitlement of a member because 2 or more splitting instruments have been served on the Board, the Board may determine to apply the reductions separately, or in aggregate.
	(5)	If a member has received a draw down benefit under regulation 53 (as in force immediately before it was revoked by the Southern State Superannuation (Fund Selection and Other Matters) Amendment Regulations 2022), the superannuation interest of the member will be taken to include the balance of any investment made by the Board on behalf of the member under subregulation (6) of that regulation.
69—Lump sum not payable to spouse on death of member if split has occurred
If a member dies and is survived by a spouse who—
	(a)	has received, is receiving or is entitled to receive a benefit under a splitting instrument; or
	(b)	is, under the terms of a splitting instrument, not entitled to any amount arising out of the member's superannuation interest under the Act or these regulations (or any proportion of such an interest),
the spouse is not entitled to a benefit under the Act or these regulations in respect of the deceased member (except in accordance with the instrument) and will not be considered to be a spouse of the deceased member for the purposes of regulation 74 (if relevant).
70—Board to comply with Commonwealth requirements
The Board must comply with the requirements imposed on the Board under Part VIIIB of the Family Law Act 1975 of the Commonwealth.
71—Provision of information

72—Payment from contribution account in name of non‑member spouse
If the interest of a spouse (or former spouse) is paid into a contribution account under regulation 67(1)(b), or is rolled over for payment into an account under the Act or these regulations or under the provisions of another Act or of regulations that correspond to this Part, the amount paid into the account will be taken to be a rollover component that may be paid out in accordance with regulation 55(7).
73—Fees
	(1)	The Board may fix fees in respect of matters in relation to which fees may be charged under regulation 59 of the Commonwealth regulations.
	(2)	Any fee under subregulation (1) that is payable by a member spouse or a non‑member spouse and has not been paid within 1 month of the amount becoming payable may be deducted by the Board—
	(a)	if the outstanding fee is payable by a member spouse—
	(i)	from the member spouse's contribution account; or
	(ii)	from any benefit payable to the member spouse under the Act or these regulations; or
	(b)	if the outstanding fee is payable by a non‑member spouse—

	(2)	If a number of periods of cohabitation are to be aggregated for the purpose of determining an aggregate period of cohabitation for the purpose of subregulation (1), any separate period of cohabitation of less than 3 months will be disregarded.
	(3)	A surviving spouse must, at the request of the Board, furnish it with any information that it requires for the purposes of making a division under subregulation (1).
	(4)	A putative spouse is not entitled to any benefit under this regulation, unless the deceased member or spouse member and that spouse were putative spouses as at the date of the death of the member or spouse member.
	(5)	If—
	(a)	a deceased member or spouse member is survived by a lawful and a putative spouse; and
	(b)	a benefit is paid to 1 of them on the assumption that he or she is the sole surviving spouse of the deceased,
the other spouse has no claim on the benefit insofar as it has been already paid unless that spouse gave the Board notice of his or her claim before the date of payment.
75—Payment in case of death
	(1)	Subject to subregulation (2), if a person to whom a payment is to be made under the Act or these regulations dies, the Board may, in its discretion, make the payment to—

79—Inactive low balance and lost member accounts
	(1)	If an amount of the Fund is attributable to a lost member account or an inactive low balance account of a member or spouse member, the Treasurer may, in accordance with any relevant law of the Commonwealth and subject to subregulation (2), pay an amount equal to the residual balance of the lost member account or inactive low balance account to the Commissioner of Taxation.
	(2)	The Board may determine that an amount of the Fund attributable to a lost member account or an inactive low balance account of a particular class or kind, or in respect of a particular member or class of member, that would be otherwise payable under subregulation (1), is not to be paid in accordance with that subregulation.
	(3)	If a payment is made under subregulation (1), the Treasurer must reimburse the Consolidated Account (or, if the payment was made from a special deposit account, that account) by charging the Fund with an amount equal to the residual balance of the lost member account or inactive low balance account (as the case requires).
	(4)	The Board must then close the inactive low balance or lost member accounts (as the case requires) maintained by the Board in the name of the member or spouse member, after which—

Schedule 3—Transitional provisions
Part 1—Transitional provisions operating from commencement of these regulations
2—Members previously entitled to future service benefit
	(1)	Subject to this clause, a member of the scheme who was, immediately before the commencement of the Southern State Superannuation (Invalidity/Death Insurance) Amendment Act 2001 (the amending Act), a member—
	(a)	who would have been entitled to a basic future service benefit in the circumstances referred to in section 34 of the repealed Act as in force immediately before the commencement of the amending Act; or
	(b)	in respect of whom a basic future service benefit would have been payable in the circumstances referred to in section 35 of the repealed Act as in force immediately before the commencement of the amending Act,
but who was not a supplementary future service benefit member is entitled to a level of basic invalidity/death insurance that, in the opinion of the Board, will give the member invalidity and death insurance equivalent to or greater than the level of basic insurance that he or she was entitled to immediately before the commencement of the amending Act.
	(2)	A person who was, immediately before the commencement of the amending Act, a supplementary future service benefit member of the scheme is entitled to a level of basic and voluntary invalidity/death insurance the combined value of which will, in the opinion of the Board, give the member invalidity and death insurance equivalent to or greater than the combined level of basic and supplementary insurance that he or she was entitled to immediately before the commencement of the amending Act.
	(3)	A member referred to in subclause (1) may, by application in the approved form, reduce the level of basic invalidity/death insurance to which he or she is entitled under that subclause to the level permitted by these regulations.
	(4)	The entitlement of a person to voluntary invalidity/death insurance under subclause (2) is subject to the same conditions (if any) that his or her entitlement to supplementary future service benefits was subject immediately before the commencement of the amending Act.
	(5)	If a member referred to in subclause (1) had, before the repeal of the Southern State Superannuation Act 1994, reduced the level of basic invalidity/death insurance to which he or she was entitled under that Act—
	(a)	subclause (1) does not operate in relation to the member; and
	(b)	the member is entitled, on the commencement of this clause, to the level of basic invalidity/death insurance he or she enjoyed immediately before that repeal.
3—Visiting medical officers
	(1)	Subject to this clause, a transferred visiting medical officer is entitled (without being required to undergo a medical examination) to maintain the insurance cover the member enjoyed under the VMO Fund immediately prior to the repeal of the Superannuation (Visiting Medical Officers) Act 1993 (subject to any adjustments that would have occurred from time to time under the terms of that insurance).
	(2)	The insurance cover to which a transferred visiting medical officer is entitled under subclause (1)—
	(a)	will be in substitution for invalidity/death insurance under Part 3 of these regulations (and that Part will not apply while the insurance cover under subclause (1) is maintained); and
	(b)	will, if the transferred visiting medical officer had attained the age of 60 at the time he or she became a member of the scheme (but had not yet attained the age of 65)—

Division 3—Income protection
26—Members over 60 on commencement day
	(1)	Subject to this clause, a member who has reached the age of 60 years before the commencement day is not entitled to a disability pension under regulation 36 unless the Board grants an application by the member for income protection cover.
	(2)	Regulation 37A applies to an application under subclause (1).
	(3)	If a member who reached the age of 60 years not more than 30 days before the commencement day (or within such longer period before the commencement day as the Board considers fair in a particular case) applies for income protection under subclause (1), the Board may waive any 1 or more of the requirements of regulation 37A when determining the application and may grant the application without conditions regardless of the state of the member's health.
	(4)	If a member to whom subclause (3) applies was, before the commencement day, in receipt of a disability pension that ceased only because of the member having reached the age of 60 years, the disability pension received by the member under regulation 36 at the time that the member reached the age of 60 years will be taken into account for the purposes of regulation 36AAD(2) when determining the duration of any pension paid to the member in respect of the same incapacity after the commencement day.
27—Contribution replacement benefit
A contribution replacement benefit is not payable under regulation 36AAB in connection with a disability pension paid—
	(a)	to a member who ceased to be engaged in employment to which the Act applies before the commencement day; or
	(b)	in respect of incapacity that commenced before the commencement day.
28—Waiting period
Regulation 36AAC(1) to (3) apply for the purposes of determining the applicable waiting period for any disability pension payable in relation to an incapacity for work that commences on or after the commencement day.
29—Eligibility for disability pension
	(1)	Regulation 36 as in force on and from the commencement day applies for the purposes of determining a member's eligibility for a disability pension in respect of incapacity for work if the day on which the member is first incapacitated for work as a consequence of the disability occurs on or after the commencement day.
	(2)	If the day on which the member is first incapacitated for work as a consequence of the disability occurs before the commencement day, regulation 36(1) as in force immediately before that day applies for the purpose of determining the member's eligibility for a disability pension.
30—Conditions of income protection to continue
If an application under regulation 37(4) of these regulations as in force before the commencement day was accepted by the Board subject to authorised conditions under regulation 37(8), those conditions continue to apply in relation to the member's entitlement to a disability pension on and from the commencement day.
31—Notional salary and automatic acceptance limit
	(1)	Regulation 36A(1) and (2) as in force immediately before the commencement day continue to apply in relation to a disability pension to which a member became entitled before that day (and, accordingly, regulation 36A(1) and (2) as inserted or varied by these regulations apply only in relation to a disability pension to which a member becomes entitled after the commencement day).
	(2)	Regulation 36A(3) to (9) do not apply in relation to a member to whom this Part applies.
	(3)	However, a member to whom this Part applies may, if the member's notional salary exceeds the automatic acceptance limit, by notice in writing in the approved form, elect to reduce the level of the member's income protection cover by having the member's notional salary fixed at the automatic acceptance limit.
	(4)	If a member makes an election under subclause (3)—
	(a)	the member's notional salary under regulation 36A will be taken to be fixed at the automatic acceptance limit; and
	(b)	the member's disability pension premium will accordingly be determined on the basis of the fixed amount.
	(5)	A member who has made an election under subclause (3) may subsequently apply to the Board for an increase in the level of the member's income protection cover.
	(6)	If an application by a member under subclause (5) is approved by the Board—
	(a)	the member's notional salary will be determined under regulation 36A(1) or (2), as appropriate; and
	(b)	regulation 36A(3) to (9) will not apply in relation to the member; and
	(c)	the member's disability pension premium will accordingly be determined on the basis of the member's notional salary.
	(7)	Regulation 37A applies to an application under subclause (5).
	(8)	If an application under subclause (5) is granted subject to authorised conditions under regulation 37A—
	(a)	any entitlement of the member to a disability pension based on a notional salary set at a level higher than the automatic acceptance limit will be subject to those conditions; and
	(b)	the member's entitlement to a disability pension will continue to be subject to any authorised conditions that applied before the application was granted; and
	(c)	if the member has income protection cover under these regulations that the member was not required to apply for, the member will be entitled, without conditions, to a disability pension based on a notional salary fixed at the automatic acceptance limit (or, if there is a later reduction in the member's salary, at a lower level that corresponds to the member's notional salary as determined under regulation 36A(1) and (2)).
	(9)	In this regulation—
automatic acceptance limit has the same meaning as in regulation 36A.
32—Maximum salary income protection cap
	(1)	Regulation 36B, as in force on and from the commencement day, applies in relation to a member whether the member became a member of the scheme before or after that day.
	(2)	However, if, immediately before the commencement day, the notional salary of a member to whom this Part applies exceeded the maximum salary income protection cap (within the meaning of regulation 36B)—
	(a)	the member's notional salary for the purposes of regulation 36A is to be fixed at the level of the member's salary immediately before the commencement day irrespective of any subsequent increase in the member's salary (but any subsequent reduction in the member's salary is to be taken into account in determining the member's notional salary); and
	(b)	the member's disability pension premium will accordingly be determined on the basis of the fixed amount.
