Can I continue to pay my Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) contributions after leaving employment?
Membership of the LGPS is only available to employees who remain in local government employment. If you leave your local government employment, your pension will be frozen until you reach retirement age, elect to transfer to a new scheme or take a refund of your contributions (only applicable if you have less than 3 months scheme membership).
