Changes to retired member re-employment earnings rule

December 17, 2025 | 1-min read

The OPSEU Pension Plan (Plan) was amended effective July 1, 2025, to no longer reduce pensions for retired members who work for a Plan employer as of December 1 in the year they turn 71. This change aligns with the Income Tax Act requiring members to start their pension by the end of the year they turn 71.  

How this might impact you: 

  • If you turn 71 in 2025, the earnings limit ends December 1 of that year 

  • If you turned 71 last year (or before), the earnings limit ends July 1, 2025 

This is only relevant to retirees who also work for a Plan employer.  

Visit the quarterly re-employment earnings limit and returning to work page which will be updated in early 2026.
