This means its employees can join the **Public Sector Superannuation (PSS)** scheme — a defined benefit fund (where your retirement payment is calculated based on salary and service years, not just investment returns) normally reserved for Commonwealth public servants.\n\n**Who it affects**\n- Staff employed by Commonwealth Funds Management Limited (a government-owned investment management company at the time)\n- The company itself, which became responsible for administering PSS contributions and benefits for eligible employees\n\n**Why it matters**\nWithout this declaration, employees of this government business enterprise would have been excluded from the PSS scheme and forced into different superannuation arrangements. This ensures staff managing government investments receive the same retirement benefits as other public sector workers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-inclusion-declaration-no-2/documents"}}
