Title or working title of regulatory initiative
Amending the Former Members of Parliament Elections for Joint and Survivor Benefits Regulations

Description
Amendments to the Former Members of Parliament Elections for Joint and Survivor Benefits Regulations are necessary as the regulations deal only with an election for the Optional Survivor Benefit (OSB) made by a legally married pensioner.

Key objective(s)
To amend the regulations to provide operational details for an OSB election in a common-law relationship situation.
This regulatory initiative is associated with the department’s Regulatory Stock Review Plan: 2020 to 2030.
