Teachers Pensions - My Pension Online (MPO)

My Pension Online is a Teachers Pension portal that allows members to keep up to date with their teacher’s pension.

Please ensure all Teachers have registered for a My Pension Online (MPO) account, if they have not already done so, as Teachers’ Pensions view this as an employer responsibility. Many establishments would have appointed new teachers at the beginning of the year so this is a great time to check those teachers and any existing teachers in your establishment, have registered.

Employees should not just relay on checking their payslip for contributions taken each month, and should regularly check their online pension portal as well. MPO has many benefits, including:

• View their Benefit Statement (this is the only place they can view this)
• Complete important forms and documents relating to their pension
• Update their personal details (like name, address etc)
• Use the helpful online calculators to plan their retirement
• Apply for certain flexibilities to enhance their pension
• Update their beneficiaries

Please ensure all teaching staff are aware of My Pension Online and register within the first month or two of joining the scheme. You will receive a friendly reminder about My Pension Online from HR Connect when we resolve your New Appointment e-form for any new teacher placed into the scheme.

Members are responsible for ensuring they check their pension statement regularly to ensure all the service they expect to see, is there. Missing service can be difficult to resolve years after the event when a member reviews this near retirement due to data access and retention of information. This may result in the member’s benefits being impacted upon retirement which can be distressing. This is why it is important members register for My Pensions Online, and regularly check their benefit statement to avoid historical missing service.
