The State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme, commonly known as SERPS or the State Second Pension (S2P), was a component of the UK’s state pension system designed to supplement the basic state pension by providing additional benefits based on earnings.
The State Second Pension (SSP), also known as S2P, was a former UK government scheme intended to provide an additional pension on top of the basic state pension. It was introduced in 2002 to replace the State Earnings Related Pension (SERPS) and was funded through National Insurance contributions. The scheme was phased out in April 2016 and replaced by the New State Pension, a single-tier pension system.
