Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This determination establishes the PSS Special Account to hold and manage money related to administering the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS) for government employees and certain office‑holders. It confines receipts (Parliamentary appropriations, scheme revenue, admin fees and PSS Fund transfers earmarked for costs) to pay for PSS administration, statutory board functions and investment management (only where matching transfers exist). Transactions start 1 July 2002, creating a quarantined, accountable funding stream separate from the main PSS Fund.
