This declaration makes your retirement savings **portable**, ensuring you don't lose benefits when moving between the public service and the University.\n*   **Timing:** The declaration applies retrospectively from **1 September 1979**, ensuring staff who moved to the University from that date onwards are covered."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-10-03-1980/documents"}}
