Plan changes for multiple mandatory transfers
The OPSEU Pension Plan (the Plan) was recently amended to restore the amount of pension service certain members will establish in the Plan following two mandatory transfers between the Plan and the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). For affected members who rejoin the Plan on a mandatory basis on or after January 1, 2024, the amendment restores the amount of pension service they earned during their prior membership in the Plan at no extra cost to them.
