Public Service Pension Plan

The Public Service Pension Plan is designed to provide a retirement income during your lifetime. In the event of death, the plan provides an income for survivors and eligible children.

The PS Pension Plan is a defined benefit pension plan. This means the plan spells out in advance the benefits you will received on retirement, death, disability or termination of service.   The benefits are specified in the plan document, the Public Service Superannuation Act and Regulations. The benefits are directly related to the employee's salary and period of participation (service with contributions) in the plan.

PSAC has two representatives on the Public Service Pension Advisory Committee (PSPAC).  The PSPAC is not associated in any manner with the NJC and has the following legislated mandate under subsection 41(2) of the Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA):

(a) review matters respecting the administration, design and funding of the benefits provided under this Act and make recommendations to the Minister about those matters; and

(b) review any other pension-related matters that the Minister may refer to it.

Pension issues are coordinated through the PSAC Pension Program.
