Section 114A (1)

“If

(a)an employee of the Commonwealth ... is receiving, or is entitled to receive, compensation under this Act; and

(b)the appropriate officer in relation to the employee becomes aware that the employee has retired from his or her employment;

as soon as practicable after becoming so aware, the officer must give written notice to Comcare stating that the employee has retired and the date of the retirement and identifying the superannuation scheme of which the employee was a member at the time of his or her retirement.”

Advice should include:

• a date of retirement.  This is most important in calculating the date benefits are payable under a different section of the Act and altering PRACSYS from customer based payments to the Direct payment system; and

• the name of the superannuation fund used by the employee.
