Pension Protection Fund (PPF)
The Pensions Act 2004 legislated for the PPF which will come into being from 6 April 2005. The fund will assume responsibility for defined benefit schemes whose sponsoring employers have become insolvent. The PPF will pay compensation to scheme members in lieu of the benefits they would have received from the scheme. The PPF is not a pension scheme but will be given the same tax treatment as the pension scheme it protects.
