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.

Planning to Retire

One of the most important things to remember about your pension is that you must apply for it.
Contact us at least three months prior to the date you wish to retire and request a retirement package.

Purchasing prior service

During your career, you may have periods of time when you did not contribute to the TPP, such as approved leaves. If so, you may have gaps in your pensionable service which can impact your pension and retirement date. Members may be permitted to buy back service with a current or previous TPP employer to increase their pension amount and/or to retire sooner. Click here for more information on purchasing prior service.

Transferring from another pension plan?

The TPP 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 may be able to retire with a larger pension benefit or at an earlier date. Click here for more information on transferring from another pension plan.
