If the new employer has a pension plan, the PSPP pension may be transferred to the new plan provided a reciprocal transfer agreement exists between the plans. There are reciprocal transfer agreements with most of the public sector pension plans in Canada. If there is no transfer agreement with the new plan, the member might be able to use the funds from PSPP to cover the cost of optional service with the new employer. Each pension plan has its own set of unique rules. Some plans do not allow service to be transferred or optional service. The member will need to check the rules under the new pension plan and contact our administrator, Alberta Pensions Services Corporation (APS) for information.
