Pension benefits are available for your loved ones in the event of your death
In the event of your death, your surviving spouse, eligible children and/or possible dependants automatically receive a survivor benefit.
If you do not have a surviving spouse, eligible children, or a dependant, you may wish to designate a beneficiary. Click here to view Survivor Options.
Purchasing prior service
During your career, you may have periods of time when you did not contribute to the PSSP, such as approved leaves. If so, you may have gaps in your pensionable service which can impact your pension and retirement date. You may be permitted to buy back service with a current or previous PSSP employer to increase your pension amount and/or to retire sooner. Click here for information on purchasing prior service.
Transferring from another pension plan?
The PSSP has transfer agreements with other provincial pension plans. These agreements may permit a member to transfer service and approved funds from one plan to another. If you are able to transfer your service, you will be able to retire with a larger pension benefit or at an earlier date. Click here for information on transferring service from another Plan.
