How is the Members benefit increased?
The taxed and untaxed components of the Member’s benefit will be increased in the same manner as those components were increased prior to the split of the benefits. As stated elsewhere, a Member’s benefit in the growth phase is not actually reduced at the operative time of the family law split. However, in order to accurately reflect the Member’s entitlement, any annual member statements and benefit estimates provided after the operative time of the split will be qualified as being subject to a reduced entitlement for the member as a result of the split.
