We’re rolling out multi-factor authentication (MFA) for i-Connect, to help keep the data you share with us safer. 

All employers will be using MFA for i-Connect by the end of July 2025.

Ahead of the implementation of the Pension Dashboard, it’s very important that all member addresses are recorded in the correct format, particularly the postcode.

This is because the address and postcode will be used to match members with their pension figures once the Pension Dashboard is live. 

In a move to streamline data submission processes, i-Connect has been designated as the primary platform for remittance information related to contributions. This change follows the removal of the LGPS50 form, a decision aimed to alleviate the burden on employers who previously had to submit duplicate data. 

If there is a difference between your monthly i-Connect submission and the actual payment we receive, you must complete a Submission reconciliation form. 

We’ve launched a new digital leaver form. We've redesigned the process to make it easier for you when your employees leave their role or the pension scheme. 

You can now complete all required information online, removing the need for paper forms.

Join other employers who are already using the online leaver form and benefiting from the new streamlined process today.

Functionality has been introduced within i-Connect to enable the submission of final pay using the dashboard. When an employee leaves the LGPS; the Fund requires a calculation of their final pay under the 2008 scheme definition where they were a member of the LGPS prior to 1st April 2014. Tasks will now be created upon submission of a leave date in i-Connect for posts that meet certain criteria.
