How do I know if I am eligible for BC’s Public Service Pension Plan?

You are eligible to be covered by the Public Service Pension Plan if you work as:

A regular employee (full- or part-time)
A casual or auxiliary employee who earns a salary that is higher than 50 percent of the year’s maximum pensionable earnings in a calendar year
An assistant or associate deputy minister
A person to whom an enactment or Order-in-Council specifies that the pension plan applies

Once you are admitted, you’ll receive a member’s benefit statement from the BC Public Service Pension Plan every year. And you are entitled to a pension benefit when eligible, after making your first contribution to the plan! These contributions to your pension can come from:

You: contributions that are automatically deducted from your pay
Your employer: as an employer-paid benefit

If you want to determine your contribution amounts, you can check your pay statement in Employee Self Service.

Under Before-Tax Deduction, the Superannuation Plan shows you the employee paid portion
Under Employer Paid Benefits, the Superannuation Plan shows you the employer paid portion

Finally.

While changing your address with the BC Public Service Pension Plan is an important task to do during your moving process, an equally important step is changing your address with your driver’s licence.
