The Department for Communities has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Pensions Dashboards (No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023” (S.R. 2023 No. 209), which came into operation on 8th December 2023.

The Rule revokes and re-enacts the Pensions Dashboards Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023, as amended by the Pensions Dashboards (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023, which would otherwise cease to have effect by virtue of Article 288(2)(b) of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 2005.

Pensions dashboard services are an electronic communications service which will allow individuals to see their pensions information (including the State pension) in one place online. Pensions dashboard services will help individuals to be reunited with lost pensions and support people in better planning for their retirement.

The Rule sets out requirements that need to be in place to enable pensions dashboard services to operate effectively.

Copies of the Rule, as approved by resolution of the Northern Ireland Assembly on 28 May 2024, may be purchased from the Stationery Office at www.tsoshop.co.uk or by contacting TSO Customer Services on 0333 202 5070 or viewed online at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr.
