Body

The Public Service Superannuation Plan is one of the largest public sector pension plans in Atlantic Canada. The Plan is a registered defined benefit pension plan that offers you a lifetime pension benefit when you retire. It serves an important part in helping you to be financially secure during your retirement years.


How your Public Service Superannuation Plan works:

Your pension benefit is funded by contributions made by you and your employer, as well as investment income generated by the Plan’s investment assets.

To view the most current employee/employer contribution rates, visit our PSSP Contribution Rates section.
