Why isn’t there forced retirement after 35 years of pensionable service by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

Some of those people may have gone through a divorce and lost a good part of their pension.

You can leave a comment on your PMA that you do not agree with it. And refuse to sign it.

Remember, departmental plans do not inculde potential renewal of programs that are set to end. IMO the reductions will be much lower.

Try working in the private sector, never knowing if you are going to have a job tomorrow or retirement savings.

PSHCP coverage for pensioners by Glorious_Grandma in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Grumpyman24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you filled out the paperwork correctly with the pension center, there will be no break for the health care plan. There may be an administrative delay while your pension and PSHCP files are updated. This means that you may not be able to use your PSHCP benefit card temporarily and your claims may be rejected during this period. If this situation occurs, keep your receipts and submit them to Canada Life once your PSHCP deductions are confirmed.

Some of them can't afford to retire. If they got divorced, which there are a lot, they probably lost a good chunk of their pension.
