Retiring in December 2009?

All Teachers’ Pension Plan members whose pensions take effect in December 2009. Normally, pension payments are made at the end of each month, but in December this year payments will be processed earlier because of the timing of statutory holidays.

Payments to plan members whose pensions become effective on December 1 this year will be paid on December 23. Therefore, we must receive these members’ completed retirement forms no later than December 14 to allow us time to process their pension payments by December 23. If we receive members’ completed forms after December 14, their first pension payment will be in January at the earliest.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Teachers’ Pension Plan by e-mail at TPP@pensionsbc.ca or by phone at one of the following numbers: 250 953-3022 (in Victoria), 604 660-4088 (in Vancouver) or 1 800 665-6770 (in the rest of BC).
