Age 65 mid year and PRSI

[Roro999]

I read somewhere that PRSI stops being deducted from age 65.

I am retired and in receipt of a private monthly pension along with invalidity pension.

Will my pension provider automatically stop deducting PRSI once I turn 65 ?

Prsi class M applies to an occupational pension regardless of your age.
Your pension payslips will show Prsi M. There is no charge for this class of Prsi.

I must check that. Its an ARF.
Almost certain provider has been deducting PRSI

Prsi class S applies to an ARF. This applies up to the age you start claiming the state contributory pension or if you don't qualify for state pension, age 70.

I wonder how does an ARF provider know whether or not somebody is in receipt of a State pension?

It is the pensioner's responsibility to inform the ARF provider.

Will make sure of it when time comes and thanks.

I reached 66 in January. Zurich phoned me to check if I had started to claim the state pension. They explained that they are now required to do this to ensure that the correct Prsi is applied.

That’s reassuring

I wonder are all ARF providers that diligent.

To be fair, Zurich seem to have really good systems from various reports on here.
