Can I opt out of the workplace pension during postponement period?

Enrolment is deferred for the majority of people, and opting out needs to be done after your first payment.

To cease your membership or opt-out you will have to be put into the scheme first i.e. enrolled, and that will not happen until you have been employed by Nasa for 3 months.

Once you have been enrolled and made at least 1 contribution you will receive an email from NOW Pensions titled “Welcome to the NOW: Pensions Trust – your workplace pension”.

Keep an eye out for it as it will contain a link to your pension account, your pension plan number and a date by which you will have had to complete the opt out process to receive a refund of your contributions.
