Will a separation or a divorce after retirement affect my pension benefits?

Benefits accrued in a pension plan during marriage or civil union, are part of the family assets. If the value of the benefits accrued under your pension plan is actually partitioned between you and your former spouse, this may reduce the pension you are receiving.

Consult your personal legal counsel as needed.

For separation or divorce purposes, how can I find out the value of the benefits accrued under my pension plan?

To know the value of the benefits accrued under your pension plan, you must make the request with the CEPP Administrative Agent. Depending on your province of residence, the proper forms will be sent to you.
