If you’ve been paying into your USS pension for less than two years, you may be able to get a refund of your contributions. Whether you are eligible for a refund will depend on various things like how long you’ve been paying in and if you contributed via salary sacrifice.

If you’re working for a USS employer on a fixed-term contract, you can still join USS to save for your future. If you’re eligible, your employer will enrol you unless you tell them otherwise.

We use a number of different tools in order to determine the optimal asset mix for the scheme in respect of the amount of risk that has been set by the trustee.

There are two parts to USS. The Retirement Income Builder is the defined benefit (DB) part, which provides a guaranteed income in retirement. The Investment Builder is the defined contribution (DC) part, which allows you to save more towards your future in your own savings pot.
